Combat the Congressional Grinsh

[Junkmanme]

IF the Federal Gub-Mint would quit "borrowing" from the Social Security Trust Fund...and adding NEW Coverages...it wouldn't be sliding into "insolvency". It is an actuarial certainty ..just as an "Ordinary Life" Insurance Policy.

The House and the Senate have used Social Security Funds to get them "re-elected".

NOW...they refuse COLA and/or $250 adjustment for Seniors, etc. on Social Security.....AND cut the revenue by 2% ( which is more like a 15% cut in Social Security REVENUES.)

THAT SAID.....I do think the "cut" will be good for the Economy (overall)...it will just be done "on the backs" of the recipients of Social Security....who paid in all their working lives.

just one man's opinion,

And it is a good opinion. Next time you vote look at which party voted against the 250.00 adjustment for SS recipients since there was no COLA increase. It wasn't all of Congress that voted it down. People on SS just don't make enough money to contribute to campaigns so the nay sayers don't care about them.

The 2% will help the economy. If you make over 106k per year you don't have to pay SS on anything over that figure. So that 2% helps the people that actually have to spend all their money. In other words it will go straight in to the economy instead of being invested in derivatives.

[Junkmanme]

Yep. that MIGHT be good.

But, I'd like to see them pass a law (or resolution) that says they MUST REPEAL 2 laws for every NEW LAW that they pass.

(After a while, the average man MIGHT be able to live LEGALLY. Most times, just living a "normal life" we are breaking SOME "useless", but well-intentioned LAW.)
