I read it and it made me stupider.

Denial always solves all problems.

Until the disastrous end finally arrives, and then, all hell breaks loose.

“Social Security has an accumulated surplus of more than $2.8 trillion and can pay 100 percent of benefits for the next several decades.”

2.8 trillion in IOU’s from the government. Money has to come from somewhere—it’ll be taxes or monetization of debt.

That so-called accumulated surplus of more than $2.8 trillion largely is a pile of IOUs signed by presidents from now back to LBJ. The IOUs have to be covered by future taxes as the money obtained with the IOUs has been spent.

Known as the 'father of modern American radicalism,' Saul D. Alinsky (1909-1972) developed strategies and tactics that take the enormous, unfocused emotional energy of grassroots groups and transform it into effective anti-government and anti-corporate activism. ... Some of these rules are ruthless, but they work. … Alinsky's Rules for Radicals:

Alinsky's second chapter, called Of Means and Ends, craftily poses many difficult moral dilemmas, and his 'tenth rule of the ethics of means and ends' is: 'you do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral arguments.' He doesn't ignore traditional moral standards or dismiss them as unnecessary. He is much more devious; he teaches his followers that 'Moral rationalization is indispensable at all times of action whether to justify the selection or the use of ends or means.'...

"'The organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems,' and 'organizations must be based on many issues.' The organizer 'must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.'"

Captain: “Yes, what is it, can’t you see I’m busy?”
First Officer: “ It’s this statement from the NODS passenger group...”
Captain: “The what?”
First Officer: “Nautical Organization for Dumb Sluts Sir. “
Captain: “Well, what’s it say.”
First Officer: “They’re demanding you quit maneuvering to avoid the iceberg. They want slushies. And ‘right quick’...”

Since the SS Funds were all borrowed by the general fund and spent, the ability to pay benefits is totally dependent upon the ability to produce tax revenues to repay the debt to the SS Fund. Our current track record says that we can’t even get out of a deficit spending pattern, let alone service any debt. I give it 5 yrs at best until people realize the ponzi scheme will collapse.

It wasn’t so long ago that Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank were telling us there was nothing to worry about with the housing markets. SSDD
