He is the only thing you need to know about SS and all other government programs, it is broke. For the first time in its history you now have two generations collecting, the greatest and the boomer. 10,000 of my peeps including me are signing up everyday, yes everyday. It like all great Ponzi schemes seems so good, yea my grandparents made out like kings, my parents who are still alive they made out great also. My generation, maybe, but the peeps 50 and under, well you just keep getting to pay for our retirement and along with the 16 trillion we rang up in debt. You will have to live to be 200 to pay it off.

Financial servitude. Exploited labor. Biggest bang for the buck.

Then you just die. All planned out. Net to debt. America greed and political pickpockets.

In God I trust, who else is there?

With Obama in the Whitehouse there will be no SS in 15 years.

Why is it that older guys who re-marry  a younger woman and procreate get to have their kids get social security benefits - especially when they are rich? 

the same commie agents who scream for "choice" will not give us the choice to plan for our retirement the way we want. We should be able to chose a private alternative to the govt. plan if we want. Why have "choice" for some things and not for others..?

The government really shouldn't have a say in our retirement benefits. We worked for it. We paid taxes over the years. It rightfully belongs to us.

For manyyears they have been talking about cutting, regulating or privatize SS benefits. No Government in its right mind should mess with money older citizens have paid throughout meny long years of working so that when retirement comes we can have some form of financial help. The money taking out of our pay is ours and not the Government, Republican or Democrat. Please leave it alone and find some other ways of getting out of the debt you had no business incurring.

There is alot of wrong doing on spending in the government mainly for votes.  The rules on these funds are totaly screwed. so for I worked 40 years have another ten to put into a broken system. Lets say the wife and I are the same age and make the same money  we hit 62 we both retire and tack her social security then at 70 we jump over to mine because it keeps growing since we didnt touch it and wazam we get a big pay raise.  That the crap I am talking about if you take one then thats the one you keep.  The government full of lawyers and cannot get rid of all the loop holes.  No wonder we are set for 3 cliffs.

Solexer,I agree with all you say with 1 exception. Obama took 500 BILLION OUT of SS to help pay for his Obamacare. There are so many Laws in that Bill it would shock you for instance. Medicare with of course is a part of SS advertises that they will pay for a Physical each year. I've had many surgeries the past 6 years with the exception of this year. Each time I had a surgery I had to get a Physical which between Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield I never paid a dime for the Physical or the surgery. These surgeries have amounted to close to $200,000.00. So back to getting my Physical this year. I went in April to get mine. It took until this month for Medicare and BCBS to figure out Obamacare. Under Obamacare Medicare now only pays for the lab work for an annual Physical.They used to pay for the entire Physical. I have to pay for the Doctors bill myself as BCBS does not cover a general Physical. I will never again see my Dr. for anything other than and existing medical problem and I'm fully covered. Obama fixed it so I have to pay $218.00 out of my own pocket and I'm on SS Disability. He is part of the blame for sure and I've just proven it.
