I believe Obama’s fix for Social Security is going to be euthanizing people as they become eligible for SS benefits.

ROFLMAO! This is serious, but you Freepers are hilarious! Almost as funny as the recent story of someone being put on a Restraining Order from the Huddle House. I’ve got to email Jeff Foxworthy that one.

The cost-of-living adjustment are not linked to the goods and servives CPI, it’s adjusted to the inflation of wages.

As mentioned by the poster of this thread, Medicare is the really big problem, and fixing it will be far more complicated.

I’m taking my check early (62) so maybe I’ll get something. The rest of you Boomers -— good luck.

They did it in Romania under the evil Dictator Cecescue (spelling), and I was told that by a Romanian who was a political refugee in this country. She said old folks were given lethal injections in Romania, and it was written up as a “heart attack.”

Now that is truly sickening...but a realization isn’t it?

"Congress stole the money from the American people." Yup. And, they spent it to get re-elected.

“will be transformed from an operation that’s helped finance the rest of the government for 25 years into a cash drain that will need money from the Treasury”
Why is no one screaming about this? Why has it “helped finance the rest of the government for 25 years?” Wouldn’t that be because they’ve been stealing from it for 25 years? People who’ve paid into this all their lives deserve better than this. They were NOT paying to finance the rest of the government! Pay back what you stole, then we’ll talk about reform!

Now, we are spreading the wealth around, remember?

And to think of it. My employers and I have payed over 120,000 dollars in to it. I'm 51 and just got layed off last week. If that money went into my own private investments, I would be retired and living large by now. I am figuring out how to find a new job and hold on to my house.
Socialism sucks.

The will just cash in the T-bills [read IOUs] in the SSTF and the General Fund will have to redeem them by borrowing more money or increasing taxes or both.

Obama you promised me cash for my clunker! Now you take it away.
Hahaha, you thought a clunker was a car.
Bring in your old folks 65 and older and get a $1000 rebate on your SS.

That’s why they want to make 20 million illegals citizens — income to cover the theft of money taken from people TO BE HELD IN TRUST which our government spent on something else (getting votes).
