You're the ****ing hypocrit. "Why should I?" for the good of your grandkids asshole. You want everyone else to do the "right thing" but not you. My kids may get most of my SS money when I die. You can kiss continuing SS benefits goodbye when you kick off, except for your widow. She may give that to your kids if she wants to. You'll be dead. But any old person's SS benefit helps their kids, either by them inheriting more when the old fart dies, or by not having to support them when they're alive. That SS money benefits the entire family. Of course some kids wouldn't or couldn't support their old folks. Which makes SS even more indispensable. SS isn't there for you, it's there for everybody. snip You can go to tax stats, look at the raw data and do the computations based on the percentages but you will still end up with about the same numbers. Why would you do that? Actuaries and professional economists have already done it, and prove your contentions about the effect of removing the cap to be just wrong. Total cap removal with increased benefits takes care of 95% of the shortfall. SS benefit calculations are highly progressive, and even with increased benefits for those paying on uncapped income the added revenue reaches 95% of the shortfall. Total cap removal and capping benefits where they are produces 120% of shortfall. But that would be called "commie," so is out of the question. Nobody wants to hear more endless crybabying from those who are opposed to SS because - like you - they say they don't need it. Total cap removal and some adjustment of benefits on the high end would attain 100% of shortfall. So is not a serious problem, except to the extent it's crybabied. You'll provide some of that, I'm sure. BTW, "unfunded mandate" figures are a real crock of **** when revenue streams aren't considered. People commonly have personal unfunded mandates of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the form of mortgages. They also have revenue streams, though not nearly as secure as the U.S. government's. Talking about shortfalls in out years is legitimate. I agree SS should be paygo - after the trust fund is paid back by other gov taxes. Preferably mostly from the "wealthy," which is where most of the "stolen" SS taxes went to according to wealth distribution statistics. If SS had always been paygo, other tax rates would have been higher without the SS taxes going into the general revenue bucket. As it is, with no increased SS tax revenue, trust fund exhausted in 2033, SS will still pay ~75% of current benefits until 2086 under paygo. That's the 2011 75-year projection. It could have already changed. Not the end of the world, and there are many solutions if necessary, including squeezing the wealthy through means testing and higher taxes. Removing the SS income the cap is just one example. And that would be as close to a flat tax as you'll see. But since benefits rates are highly progressive, it's not a regressive tax. Personally, I think nothing should be done with SS until we are close to exhausting the trust fund. Because any surplus revenue will just go back into the general fund, repeating the same bad practice of SS funding non-SS expenditures and keeping other taxes artificially low. Time to get real with taxes. In the end, the people will be well-served, and the crybabies will crybaby. You can take that to the bank, if you can find the way to get there through your tears. Your chicken little attitude will be ignored by the powers that be, and problems will be addressed sanely. It won't stop crybabies, which are always part of the background noise. |

My kids may get most of my SS money when I die. How's that? The country will be completely bankrupt by then. You've been talking about for a while now. Doom is in the air, and it's all your fault. Gold ammo and MREs Mildly funny, but you're probably serious. HI is not capped and raises $182 billion collection 2.9 percent of all wages, tips.etc If you uncapped OASDI (presently capped at $106k) you would raise an extra $140 billion over the $637B we collected in 2010 on a 12.4% tax. I am not going to use 11 or 12 because the 2% tax holiday skews the numbers. That seems like a lot of money but it would barely cover the shortfall in SS/MC now. That deficit goes up every year. "While the combined OASDI program continues to fail the long-range test of close actuarial balance, it does satisfy the test for short-range financial adequacy. The Trustees project that the combined trust fund assets will exceed one year’s projected cost for more than ten years, through 2027. " That assumes the government can come up with the revenue to redeem those bonds. We are borrowing money to pay the interest. When have we not "come up with the money" to honor our debts? Oh yeah, ever. If you are going to "fix" SS./MC you need more than simply uncapping the top limit. I thought you said MC is uncapped? So, you don't know ****. MC (HI) is uncapped and still running a deficit but I hear people, including you saying uncapping OASDI would fix it all. MC as I've said and everyone else has said has different issues. Keep repeating if you think it'll help you. Uncapping SS in wages will certainly help. In any case, it's a long term problem not a short term one. But in your little mind if the issue exists it has to be fixed immediately. It has been a couple years since I did it but the numbers are not really that significant. We just do not have that many W2 people who make more than the $113.7k that it is capped at now. (I think it was $102k when I did it) You can go to IRS.GOV and look at tax stats if you want to see for yourself. They are in Excel format so you can download the files and change the view Feel free to give us your studied, indepth analysis. We know you're an expert accountant among your other bull****. I do know how to crunch numbers, it is actually pretty simple to do this one. Maybe beyond your ability but not that hard. Maybe when you get to high school you will learn a little elementary algebra. Maybe you should try harder to insult me ****head.. you're the ****ing expert, but you can't even figure out that SS and MC are two completely different things. I know they are different brands of the same basic Ponzi but it does give you a convenient way to see what happens when you remove the OASDI cap. HI is not capped and OASDI is, taxing the same salary base. If you interpolate the result of the OASDI rate to the HI rate you get the delta. No. You know how to fake being an intellectual, well-read, and a fair minded person. What you are is a fraud, but I wouldn't call it a Ponzi fraud. You can go to tax stats, look at the raw data and do the computations based on the percentages but you will still end up with about the same numbers. Uh huh. Sure. Bascially, you're pulling the numbers out your ass and smearing it on your **** to make them look better. So you don't even understand the simplest way to explain this. You have told us about higher education, implying you have actually graduated from high school, yet you can't follow math my 9 year old grand daughter can do and you can't finish a sentence without a childish profanity. You have no math skills and horrid language skills. I guess the world needs hamburger flippers too. Good luck You can insult me all you want dickbrain. The point is that you're no expert. You don't have the answers, and anyone who proposes simple solutions that will have a great effect in the long term are no good, because they don't solve the entire problem immediately. **** you.

There is no real way for the government to save money since they don't back currency with any hard asset. They back it with the faith and credit of a country that has never defaulted on it's debt...NEVER by statute. We are still young How is Stockton, San Bernadino and Compton doing? So, now you're claiming that cities never fail and never go bankrupt. You're claiming that stockton is somehow representative of the entire US? It failed for the same reason. unfunded entitlements. Why dno't you claim we're just like Greece. What a numbnuts. Reagan and Clinton both did things along those lines but nobody has tried it since. Reagan did ****. http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/deficits.html Again you are not addressing the issue Yes I am. You're just changing the subject. Sure is easy, but it's totally transparent. How am I changing the subject, we were talking about SS legislation. The 1983 tax bill Reagan signed raised the tax rate on wages for SS from 10.7% to 12.2% and it was in the bill that it would rise to the current 12.4% in 1990. That bill also allowed the IRS to tax SS benefits, originally up to 50% was subject to the income tax. It also accelerated the increase in the salary cap and raised the full retirement age. That is a lot more than "not ****" The 1993 tax bill that Clinton signed (passed by a tie breaking vote from Gore) raised the taxable amount of SS benefits to 85%, It uncapped the top salary for medicare taxes The 1994 law imposed FICA taxes on all domestic help with a threshold of $1000 a year. Maybe you should learn how to use Thomas if you want to play the game. What's your point? You quoted Thomas but you don't provide any reference point. What point are you trying to make? that we should go back to the gold standard? Jesuss christ you sound like you need to take a lude. We were talking about which presidents propped up Social Security and what they did. It sounds like you are the one who is eating ludes like jelly beans. It would explain why you can't keep up with what we are talking about. Presidents? Huh? Congress is the one who alocates money. Try again. |

I got a ticket for going 64 in a 55 on a "pace" and he never claimed I was going any faster. The other cops that stopped to back him up even laughed at him. I did not see any humor in it. I got it tossed in court because he did not show up. I got drawn on once at a stop... I was moving a car for the dealership I worked for, off the clock and was dressed in my leathers head to toe (including my jacket:)... I had the temps from the dealership in the back seat. The cop pulled me over cause I had no plates on. Forgetting my attire, I got out of my car, and I reached in the back window, threw the bag on the roof of the car, and reached in for the plates:) Uh, dumb me.... but a few minutes later when he found out who I worked for, we had a good laugh and went on our way... Yeah, dumb you. Well said! Seriously, why are you such a dick? |

I still like Luan BS1088 for light and strong. That unfinished (bare wood) boat is still in my backyard now nearly ten years, no rot. I would make nice boxes with some Mahogany trim and 9mm 1088 Luan... They would be light and strong.. and they wouldn't rot easily. |

We are borrowing money to pay the interest. When have we not "come up with the money" to honor our debts? Oh yeah, ever. Let's see if that lasts forever. We are still young. That's right. Only 250 years or so? Ok. You got me there. If you are going to "fix" SS./MC you need more than simply uncapping the top limit. I thought you said MC is uncapped? So, you don't know ****. MC (HI) is uncapped and still running a deficit but I hear people, including you saying uncapping OASDI would fix it all. MC as I've said and everyone else has said has different issues. Keep repeating if you think it'll help you. Uncapping SS in wages will certainly help. In any case, it's a long term problem not a short term one. But in your little mind if the issue exists it has to be fixed immediately. It is running a $85 billion dollar deficit and no plan to fix it,. How is that not an immediate problem? $85B? Why does that number sound familiar? I know, I know. It's the big oil subsidy. Eliminate that, and we're good to go. What's more important, big oil getting money it doesn't need or people getting their Social Security? Hmmmm.... |

The FDIC will print me some more. Last I check inflation is very under control. Or, is this more of your "let's wait and see" ****? |
