Except Ron Paul...that's when he decided to get into politics.

And whoever is the top party in Congress is the caretaker of the SS funding...as far as I can tell, the Reps have WAY TOO FEW YEARS to call this their problem...but they are just as guilty for not solving it, or being able to stop the bleeding.

As for giving anyone credit for SS...a Ponzi scheme is a Ponzi scheme...leave FDR's carcass alone...just stop the damn program, give the people their money back and shut the mess down...it's only turning this country into a bunch of cry-baby sheep.

Hey RichC:

If you had read some of my posts elsewhere on OD, you'd have seen the way I proposed that the SS program "orderly" gets shut down...

A Ponzi scheme is a Ponzi scheme is a...(you know what I mean...)

Labeling the program a "Robin Hood/Take from the rich and give to the poor" type of deal is still an illegal form of Ponzi scheme, regardless how it's labeled.

Nowhere did I say, "...Let them die in the streets..." or insinuate, that the recipients of SS, at this time, should be left in a position so that harm would befall them....

It's obvious to me that during the past few days you've managed to get under a few non-dem collars with your ramblings (And I DO MEAN RAMBLINGS) and the scariest part is that it appears, to me at least, that when you are reading someone else's post, you don't quite make it to the end or at least take a few moments to digest the entire post, as a whole...

Listen, some folks on this forum can form cohesive thoughts from the salutation to the sig, others have a hard time avoiding malaprops and may/do suffer from various degress of writing/thought-process dyslesia (let alone spelling!), but seriously RichC, you're one strange organism here...

If my posting of a "thought" makes me dangerous, "1984" is definately the SOP of a whole class of people that just hasn't made it to the wheel-house yet.

I'm hoping that Rush, Hannity and few other "righties" still have the "right" to be able to spew their venom on the "port" side of the ship before it's taken over and ends up sinking...

And as for Knightrider966 needing to contact you..."seriously"...DHS already knows about every one of us...( if you believe EVERYTHING that passes as "truth" in the media ) he was probably scanned, "printed" and filed before he even had a chance to finish introducing himself and describing the purpose of his call/post/whatever...Hell, they probably knew what he was informing them about before he contacted them (Those hidden microphones really pick up those thought-processes really good! )

RichC, I'd say "Strap on that tin-foil hat of yours REAL TIGHT and get over yourself..." but I'm sure that would only serve to stir up the flames of "distaste" in your little world, so in closing, I'm only going to wish you a better, and more tasteful, Prozac-break, the next time one is due.

OBTW, I'd "seriously" consider changing Prozac suppliers...your's might be getting some of those cheap Chinese ones, with the lead-containing-too-easy-to-swallow, coating.

Have a day...

So you think SS is a bad idea ?
And you want to get rid of it ?
And you dont think that will wind up killing people ?

And you suggest that I need to change my medications !!!

----

I think we are put on this planet to help one another.
Not kill each other.
I have a much better feeling when I help someone
then when I hurt them.
Expecially if I help someone because I want to,
and I am not trying to get anyting back from it.
The best is when nobody but me knows about it.

That is called compassion.

I found it a few years ago.
You may want to try it, makes for a better life.

Have Fun

RichC
