I plan on working until I die. No point even considering ‘retirement’ the way things are. Even my house is basically a burden now, thanks to the game-playing.

But, that’s okay. I probably wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I wasn’t working, so, shrug.

Draft Sowell for President.

If you don’t vote for him, Bambi voters, you’re a racist.

Retired seniors have the least to fear from a reform of Social Security, since neither political party is about to take away what these retirees already have and are relying on.

The creeps in congress are moving money from Social Security to Disability... They don't want anyone looking too closely at what's really going on...

No one objects to people who are really disabled getting Social Security - but a fair portion of inner city neighborhoods are using disability as the 'new welfare'. The MSM isn't reporting on it because too many dem victim groups are on the take - gays, blacks, drug addicts, gangbangers, alcoholics, wastrel's ...

It's NOT fair to the seniors who put into the system or to the young people paying supporting it today.

Everybody says that the way to solve the Social Security problem is to raise the retirement age. This is lazy and simplistic. I say the way to save Social Security, (if it must be saved), is to throw people off who have never paid in or who paid in for only a few years. You can start with that diaper wearing guy.

Drs. Sowell and Williams are such a pleasure to read for the way they make things plain and use such boundless common sense to support their points, along with sound economics, of course. Bookmarking for later reference...

The primary beneficiary of a socialist program is the socialist politician.

“Their anger should be directed instead against those politicians who were irresponsible enough to set up these costly programs without putting aside enough money to pay for the promises that were made.”

Normally I would comment that it is impossible for a society to save dollars for the future. That’s still true. Our government though could have used that money to buy foreign bonds or gold. It did not. There was never a plan to do it. There was no “lock box” or savings account with anyone’s name on it.
