  • I'm puzzled, if you're 67, single, with no kids and work all your life and paid into social security, and then you died at 68. Why is it that the the money YOU've earned goes back to the goverment and not to your beneficiaries. It's seems like if you earned it, it's yours to do as you please.

  • Every 15 months, the USA owes another trillion dollars against Gov expenses!

    Prop up the bad guys with money!

    Reward the mistakes!

    Weve increased the Money Supply 70% since October!!!!!

    Can you imagine?!

    Bernanke refused to show up the other day before congress

    Altogether, the worlds markets over the past four weeks saw $11 trillion worth of assets wiped out. This sum corresponds to virtually the entire annual gross national product of the US, or the European Union

  • i agree with you there. Goverment is good at taking but when it is time for people that work there asses off to recieve, forget it. Its only for the rich.

  • Social Security is one of the biggest Ponzi schemes ever invented! I love this. The government goes after uber Ponzi czar Bernie Madoff, but they're doing the same damn thing. If the gov't does it, it's alright, right?

    Don't steal, the government doesn't like competition...

  • Look at all the illegal people here that have not worked a day in U.S and finally get there legal papers and recieve SS without even paying into it. My mother worked 30 years for it and when she came down with cancer they made her go back 3 times before she was approved. She died right before recieving one damn check. Father worked 41 years and died of massive heart attack right before being able to recieve it. They cross borders and get right away.

  • That is normal. Thanks for posting!
