The government will stop paying Social Security
Edited on Fri Jun-10-05 05:28 PM by zoeb
when it runs out of money. Well, that's according to Tony Snot on his show yesterday. Then today, the hop-head wannabe filling in for the big kahuna at eib, Walter Williams, says the same thing. They don't say when our deficit laden government will run out of money, but there will be no Social security at that time. I'm thinking at the age of 50, I won't be around to see their government collapse.
bwahahahahahaha

I think the repukes have a new tactic for selling privatization.
First the dumbass-in-chief said it would be bankrupt by '08, 2020 then they gave up on a date and said it would only pay 80% then 70% and now it's no more money.

You gotta give them credit where credit is do... the fear mongering worked in the last election.

:rofl:

1. It's already out of money....
if I lived like the Federal Government I would have had to declare bankruptcy several times over by now.
Our Treasury just keeps those printing presses working overtime and, voila.....no problem! :eyes: The bills are going to come due some day, and the Asian Bloc that holds all of our debt is going to own this country when they do.

3. According to Williams, printing more money
would set the country into deep recession and that's why they wouldn't print more for Social Security. Don't you just love the garbage they spew?

2. Oh fuck them!
I am so sick of their lies. Bush&Corp are fucking thieves and they know it.

So I guess they're not going to get their way by convincing everyone to agree with them on Social Security, so now they're just going to refuse to pay it?

I think that if all of them liquidated their own assetts, their offshore bank accounts, sold all of their properies toys etc. there would be enough to pay us our Social Security! HA!:7
