    i hate to turn on the news anymore

    Seem bad is the main topic these days, nothing good on the new. Here we are living the American dream being lead by Ali Obama and his band of thieves. Seems social security is the next on the chopping block, after they robbed it out of the lock box it was in and spent every last dime on stuff that had nothing good for the American people and then claim it wasn't our money in there.

    I feel ya. Our country is going to shit. I already know that SSA is going to be insolvent very soon. I am not banking on it for retirement. I haven't for a long time.

    And the rest of the world... in chaos as well. Everyone is living on credit. The bills are due.. and no one is going to be able to pay them.

    Hopefully the implosion of this earthly orb will occur; after my wife and I have left of natural causes.

    I feel your pain, Seadog . There are those in our government today (and one running for office) that should be tried for treason and imprisoned. Frankly, I would vote for a public hanging. I hope and dream for some satisfaction in return for the pain and misery these lowlifes have caused, not to mention the harm they have done to our freedom and way of life .

    SS has been turned into a Ponzi scheme (general fund, no longer a lock box dedicated to it's sole contributors). The US has the lowest labor partition rate in 38 years which is the exact opposite of what a Ponzi scheme needs to stay afloat. When SS finally tanks, will the GuberMint still withhold 15% SSI funds from our checks and how will they justify it ?

    From the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

    SS will be insolvent without change. There are changes which would have a huge impact. People live longer than ever today - just raise the retirement age. If you told me when I was fifty that i would have to work until 70 before i retire i would have had no problems with the change. I would have simply adjusted my retirement plan to fit. One of the reasons for the SS issues is that there are large factions of our government who want it to fail - social programs which work give conservatives a headache. The liberals will never agree to a change which raises the retirement age - it goes against their nature to reduce the no of people who benefit. It really is a shame that our two parties are so polarized. What is really needed is someone to vote for who is not on the far right or the far left. We need some moderated to take office. Someone who would actually look for solutions and compromises.

    Sadly we're quickly approaching the time when we the people are going to have to kill a few people to re-take our country. Always been that way & I see no way around it on the horizon. And that is only if we have enough true patriots that love the country enough to do what's needed.

    It's time to start again with the Divided States of America. Liberals take one half and conservatives take the other. There is no changing sides once the left goes bankrupt.

    We've been down that road I think in the 1800's. If we haven't learned how futile it was to kill our own brothers over politics then we aren't the greatest nation. We aren't Syria, we aren't Vietnam, we aren't Russia. Don't get me wrong that I have no issue over whacking the devoid of morality thug piece of crap and striking down anyone that threatens the freedom of every American. But thinking that the ultimate solution to our issues is killing other Americans.....nah, don't need that. As uncle Ted states, the world sucks but we suck less. Compared to the rest of the world I would say we are doing pretty good. If we are suckered by the false security blanket of SS then we failed in the American Dream of self reliance.

    Well said Stro. I'm all for shooting someone that needs to be shot. In this case shooting your neighbor is not the answer. Washington can be changed by your vote. Unfortunately too many people are apathetic. In this country we never have a 60% voter turnout. If we could get an 80% turnout we could change this country. It's not too late. And I'll tell ya , its mostly conservatives that stay home. Killing each other is not the answer. Getting your neighbor to the polls is.
