I hope everyone is aware of the dire saturation that social security is in and if we don't do something about it now, the roof will cave in on those that will follow in a short generation.
And it's not just social security, it's Medicare and Medicaid that are sucking up more and more tax dollars every year. It is estimated that by the year 2020, the big three will take nearly 30% of the yearly budget - and after the national debt that won't leave much for anything else. (I will post next a neat article on how much illegals are sucking from our national budget as well)
The bottom line here is who will take lead to actually fix this stuff or who will take the blame when it all goes wrong? I know and you know in your heart of hearts it will never be those that caused the problem to get out of hand in the first place. The old party Democrats.
I know the New Socialist Progressive Party, NSPP, liberal Democrats, won't as it is a major voting block for them, the "seasoned citizens". All the NSPP has to do is howl that to change now will 'disenfranchise' all those poor people that didn't save a dime and rely on government for everything.
Their is a ton of information just for the asking that explains this in detail, but fear of the unknown will always work to keep the uninformed from taking any independent action. I believe that at least 50% or more of the population has no clue what is going on in this country no matter the subject. All they have to rely on is the major media and they are in the tank with the NSPP. The NSPP knows this as well and they use it every time a question comes up concerning government handouts.
What can be done to get this started? Vote out the 'old party Democrats' and do not vote for the NSPP to take their place. Will the Republicans do the job right, I don't know but at least they tried and were shot done a few years ago, 2004 and early 2005.
Maybe if we demand that action be taken, like we must on the boarder fence and a comprehensive energy policy, yeah, maybe we will get something done. Remember it worked on that stupid immigration bill that our leaders tried to sneak through.
So let's vow to get started and always keep the faith, the battle is joined!
SOCIAL SECURITY: (from rense.com)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years. Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society.
They felt they should have a special plan for themselves So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.
For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.. For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.
Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA... ZILCH... ZERO!!!
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds; "OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK "!
From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer). We can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement. Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!
Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.
That change would be to: Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen.
Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us Then sit back... And see how fast they would fix it.
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.
How many people CAN you send this to?
Better yet How many people WILL you send this to?
