You are posting on a subject you either don’t understand or that you refuse to understand.
Not one word of your latest post has anything to do with the issue. The post does, however, underscore my prediction. People like you make it absolutely impossible to fix this country’s financial situation, not because you don’t work, but because you refuse to rise above your self-interest. Unfortunately, you have lots of company. This is exactly what FDR predicted.
Don’t worry, though. You will continue to do reasonably well financially for the relatively few years the SS and Medicare charades will be able to continue as they are. The ones whose futures are being thoroughly destroyed by these programs (and others) are your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren.
GET BUSY AND FIX IT. I understand the Ponzi scheme, probably as well as or maybe better than you & I AM WILLING TO DO MY PART TO FIX IT!!! NOW, TODAY!!
You make broad assertions to accuse ME of selfishness when YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW ME, refuse to answer the questions presented, such as “What are YOU doing to fix the problem??!” - and attack, attack, attack. If FDR was such a good predicter, WHY was he such an enthusiastic SOCIALIST?? Why did he not comprehend the scope of his Ponzi scheme?
Quit screaming that I’M “selfish” and stupid, and do something constructive. We’re still working. What are YOU doing? Sounds like just carping to me. (Yes! It’s gotta be FIXED! If you insist on keeping on voting for Obama, he’s just gonna keep on “spreading the wealth around”.)

That is what is really troubling. Twinkie is in no danger whatsoever of not having a place at the table feasting on the Carcass of what is left of the united States. Not a single politician is even talking about changes that would effect those at least a decade away from receiving SSI, so Twinkie is just taunting us and is a tool for the Progressives advocating and pushing their cause to take down the united States.
You are right, FDR and the Progressives were brilliant in exploiting the worst of man's sinful and carnal nature and you see it in the posts of these people who are demanding that we work harder and longer, sacrifice even more so they can coast easier.
That generation had it all, and now that they have kicked away the ladder of success, they want us to continue to liquidate the country until there is nothing left to pass on just so they can continue to enjoy the luxury they feel entitled to. Another poster had the audacity to suggest that the country sell off assets. IOW, these thieves looking towards SSI are actually advocating trading away American soil to the Chinese and Arabs so that they can have the premier satellite package on their RVs.
Other tools of this Administration are also supporting the idea of confiscating the wealth stored up in 401ks and IRAs. These so called conservatives will gladly use the Police Powers of the State to loot and pillage the younger generation, sell off the country to the highest bidder, and liquidate everyone's assets (except their own) because they are convinced that they have an inalienable rights to your wallet, your bank account and your future.
Its pretty evil considering they have nothing to fear since their seat at the table is guaranteed at the total expense of your viable future.
