GOP Wants to Take Away Your Social Security
GOP Wants to Take Away Your Social Security (http://dailykos.com/hotlist/add/2010/2/5/1002/31790/main//) by _DarkSyde_ (http://darksyde.dailykos.com/) Fri Feb 05, 2010 at 07:00:03 AM PST
It really is that simple. In the contest between tax breaks for Paris Hilton or corporate welfare for Exxon, and an ongoing multidecade contract with over 100 million Americans, judging by the latest Republican ‘budget’ priorities, they’re _working for Paris_ (http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/02/game_on_3.php#more?ref=fpblg) : First, it calls for big cuts in Social Security benefits for everyone currently under 55 years of age. On top of the cuts it also calls for privatizing Social Security. They want to cut your social security until it bleeds to death and toss the drained corpse into the jaws of Wall Street. Reason? To transfer your money to the wealthiest people on earth and stick you with the bill. So, Democrats, do you have a simple five-second elevator pitch at the ready for why people should vote for you this Fall? If not, how about “Republicans are going to steal your social security and give it to rich people”?

I know it’s difficult and scary for you fringers, but if you click on the link you’ll find that this proposal is very recent. Go ahead, you can do it and you won’t need a gang to back you up or even bandages.
I wasted my time clicking the link, moonbat garbage. The proposal referred to doesn’t want to take away social security, it wants to save it from the reckless spending of Obamba and his lackeys.
Do you even understand the consequences of paygo’s worker/retiree declining ratios??? Don’t you know FDR’s plan was to make SS an annuity along the lines of Bush’s proposal???
Of course we know that! But we can’t figure out why the GOP didn’t “fix” the problem all those years they controlled Congress. Had W gotten his way in 2004 and invested the income from the OASI in the stock market, things would be even worse. Congress needs to re-stablish the trust ASAP and get serious about debt reduction.

Companies come and go, Stocks rise and fall, and greed thrives in America’s businesses. Given this, you cannot trust your retirement to anyone basically. However, the govt will either be here or it wont matter to you if its not! The rich are dying to get their hands on your money and thats what the whole scare routine is about. Low interest loans off your meager fortunes! And if they cant pay it back, they just fle bankruptcy on you!
When Bush proposed SS changes in 2005, it was demonized vigorous by the Democrats… And that was in a Congress where Republicans did not have a super majority…
Lynn, it is clear you do not understand WHAT Bush proposed… It was built on the Federal Thrift Plan, whose cost is among the cheapest for any mutual fund… There are several types of funds, some which went UP since 2008… It further would have limited those closest to retirement to the more conservative funds (those decreased the least or rose)… The funds that would have been invested would have been that portion of OASI specifical tied to specific individuals… By making it an annuity, you eliminate the worse problems of the current pay-go system…
The core problem with the pay-go system is as worker/retiree ratios decline, the burden on workers INCREASES… It started out at 35 to 1… Now it is close to 2 to1… The current “Trust Fund” is government IOUs where the money itself is spent… When FICA taxes become less than SS benefits, then general tax money must pay the excess…
http://www.tsp.gov/rates/share-prices.html
And with ALL stocks and bonds, it is the long term view you must look at…
What BS! Bush would have had to borrow money for broker fees to do anything. The market LOST 50% of it’s vale in 2007, so the fund would be worth about 45% less than it is now.
W used scare tactics saying the fund would go broke by 2012. Economists predicted closer to 2040. L Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

The market was positive in 2007. The market tanked when Obamba was elected, it has not recovered.
PredCON, how about the 800 BILLION PLUS tossed away so far for the Iraq flyboy photo op? (The dead and maimed will not move Pred, I know) And the market has IMPROVED since Obama took office, he was ELECTED in 2008, not 2007.*
That noted, I doubt very many Pubbies will try to “take away” Social Security however. The fruitcake featured in this obviously pro democratic draft campaign ad is not a “they”. He is one idiot that will be ignored by the rank & file Pubbies when rational thought AND voter antipathy enters the equation.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************* Why oh why do the right wing nut jobs stay home when their party nominates the BEST? Dole & McCain are the prime examples. The rank & file Pubbies turned out for a lazy, silly boy like baby Bush, but stayed home in droves when these MEN ran. STRANGE.
* The DJA was 8,279 the day Obama took office, 10,603 one year later.
Hey Powerchair boy.I see that you are also a failure at writing HTML.

* The DJA was 8,279 the day Obama took office, 10,603 one year later.
The FACT, one year later the ecnomy is IMPROVING. Obama ISN’T sending money to buddies OUTSIDE the US like the Bush boy did.
So what’s the point?Any educated person would know that the Stock market is like a small child, take away it’s candy and it caterwauls.Anyone who plays the market play at your own risk, after all it is probably the world’s largest legal casino.Anyone who blames one person for the market’s actions and reactions are probably not too stable themselves.
It isn’t even an indicator of economic health. So there.
There was a sudden drop when W was elected as well. The market hates uncertainty – With W we were sure he would lead us to war, which he did just as soon as he squandered everything Bubba left him.

Clearly, you did not look at the FTP web site nor understand the basis of Bush’s proposals… The FTP is in fact a family of managed funds with close oversight by the Federal government… Its family is one of the low cost mutual funds… Some of the funds ARE above the 2007-2008 highs today… Bush’s proposal would have restricted those close to retirement to the more conservative funds (which kept it value or increased its value on the whole)…
Pesky facts always make talking points look silly…
Right. The brokers aren’t making anything and there is no money needed for buy in. Were you raised by wolves or what? Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
All mutual funds has costs as brokers fees.. As do all stock sales… The issue is what is the percentage of fees CHARGED by the mutual fund (sales and management fees)… The fact is the FTP is among the lowest fee Mutual Fund out there… They oversee the managers… There IS NO ISSUE here except for a fake talking point… Please read what the FTP is BEFORE you seek to dumb down the discussion…
You are beating a dead horse. ftp was then and is now a bad idea. That’s why Bush dropped it. L Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Yes, they steal from Social Security.
The question is do YOU???
Good point. My Mom worked for the Social Security Administration when this scam added to the existing scam of Social Security came about. She and many if not most of those in her age group were NOT happy campers nor should they have been.
