Barack Obama on social security

[Jutzujin]

Furthermore I think the legalization of Marijuana should be heavily looked into, no I don't smoke pot but I do believe it would make for an exceptional nationwide taxable product that a vast amount of citizens would be interested in. Not only would it create jobs, I think legalization of Marijuana alone could make each state self sufficient regardless of government funding.

As long as America is a 'slap on the wrist, go have fun' country then WE WILL NEVER be free of debt. We need to instill hardcore laws that make for a more efficient means of fraud prevention, capped payment for congressional employees, and lowering unemployment wages across the country because a factual statistic is that 65% of people on unemployment will STAY on unemployment without looking for a job. Billions and billions and billions saved in the above paragraph and the below paragraph.

Raise the debt ceiling, remove the troops from Iraq and place 50% of them at the border in Humvees and M1 Abrams with a national broadcasted law amendment to kill illegals on site at the border regardless of age/gender and that ALONE will lower the debt by a D R A S T I C amount. We need to stop being the bitch of the world at step up to the fucking plate, I don't want some wetback destroying my fathers retirement plan he worked for for over 45 years.. Does not apply to legal Mexicans.

We don't need no stinkin' socialist security!

[DumbItDownPlz]

There is no money in the "trust fund" it has already be spent. Look for yourself, it exists only in communist veiw of the world. $408 billion aint a thing 710 Billion aint a thing, we will be paying that a month in social security and medicare. But lets bitch about bailouts not about real issues. Its ok the demise of social security or our dollar will come to an end with in the next 20 years. no social security = screwed poor people. worthless dollar = everyone screwed, Throw the poor over????

You have no idea what you are even rambling about.

[clausbohm]

GOD, its such crap how some of these guys think. When you make as much as them its SO easy to say what they are saying. Obama solved the problem and it hasnt sank into to these clog heads!

[Houseitch]

Quit giving my social security to illegals, I've paid into this system for the last 42 years.

[hammocktime2002]

Get ready...they will also get healthcare

[gt12121]

1) Most illegals pay far more in social security than they will take out. They contributed $9 billion to S.S. in 2005. Most (most estimates are around 3/4) illegals pay federal taxes. Many of them get work using false paperwork. So they have legal jobs and pay taxes, just will never be able to recover that money.

2) Since when in America have we denied people health care? Is having a bunch of diseased people running around really a better alternative?

[Houseitch]

a better alternative would be to legalize pot

[TaffyAlpha]

@Houseitch Can you explain to me how illegals get into social security? Or refer me to a video that tells me how illegals get into social security? I never understood how an illegal could find a way into social security.

[quadcatfly]

@Houseitch forget it. welfare on demand !!! OBAMA BIDEN 2012 !!!!

[icantfindanamethis]

social security numbers are issued through the IMF

an agency of the UN

Add some more tinfoil to your hat and use it to cover your mouth.

Paul says "We had this verdict in 2005 the public likes this program (ss) don't tamper with it" but George Will made the more important point that the strength of the voting block over 62 yrs of age has the most to gain by SS. To live in relative comfort for the rest of their lives.

A politician speaks the truth, and the talking heads call it a loser. They would rather have politicians dodge and lip-sync. The losers are the talking heads.
