“...that roughly $12,500, (assuming the rule of 72) won’t buy much 18 years from now.”

It will buy a hell of a lot more than $0.00 now won’t it?

ballplayer seems to get it. (#36) “How can the witch be in favor of this when she is not for privatization of social security.”

This was my point. The two are not really much different. But I believe if you did the math, Hillary’s idea would have a more positive long term impact on the economy.
As I said, it is worth looking at closer. And believe me, I NEVER thought I would EVER agree with “the witch”.
Let the economists examine the options. I have said for years that this government does the same crap over and over and never quite gets it just right. Lets look at something new. Like this or SS privatization again.

Sorry, I forgot my sarcasm tag.

My point was, this pandering witch seems to think we are all stoopid! Doesn't she understand that, we the unwashed hicks, pretty much know where the gov't gets its money and who will do the paying? Sheesh! (Not you, hophead. Hillary!).

The late Senator Everett Dirksen said way back in the 1960's "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you are talking about real money".

Yo Hillary! Twenty billion is real money!

Don, another good thing about Hillary’s $5000 give away plan is that the more money that goes to ‘the people’ the less they can spend on useless things. I would rather have it go the the people than to build a ‘bridge to nowhere’.
