Got a chuckle out of you comment of collecting social security. As someone in his mid 30s, I have a better chance of getting hit by an asteroid than ever collecting a check from social security. AKA the greatest ponzi scheme ever, Thanks FDR!

Look forward to your updates.

Mary, you WILL collect from Social Security unless your generation capitulates and lets the plutocracy steal the trust fund, which is what Bush was trying to do.

Social Security is solvent. Unfortunately, the government has run up the national debt, and part of that debt is owed to the workers who put their money into the Social Security Trust Fund.

Workers built up a massive fund (trust fund) so there would be enough to cover the boomers’ retirement. The government borrowed the money in the trust fund, spent it, and now they don’t want to pay it back. They want to renege. They want to pay for the Bush tax cuts (for the wealthy) by spending money that was set aside by workers to cover their retirement years - it’s as simple as that.

Don’t let them get by with their thievery. Don’t let them undermine your faith in the Social Security system. They want you to believe the system is worthless so they can renege on the debt and dismantle it. Don’t buy into Bush/Rove propaganda. Don’t let them turn one generation against another. We can all fight these thieves together.
