What Social Security's Underfunding Means for Your Retirement

Since the baby boomers will not need help with SS, then I figure all is fair in life. When you jackasses get older and need help, we younger people are gonna tell you to get out those boots and pull up on those proverbial straps. If you think hell can't be on earth, then wait until you need help when you get older. You are gonna need to create another non-existent God to deal with the backlash that is coming your way. Screw your kids over is your mantra. That is gonna bite you in the ass pretty soon. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
And don't bother trying to flex your inheritance muscle because none of your kids eve thought you would leave anything to them. Greedy people NEVER do. But like I said, you are gonna need that God of yours to deal with the wrath coming your way.
And just so you know, when you are pissing and shitting in that diaper in the home, I'm gonna remind you losers to create your own reality and just imagine that the piss and poop is sand and surf.
It's on beeyotches!

"The good news for current beneficiaries and those nearing retirement is that your benefits will remain secure and intact for the foreseeable future," says Nancy LeaMond, executive vice president of AARP, a lobbying group for older Americans." Obama denies COLA for Seniors for three years; taking this money away from Seniors "insures that this benefit will remain secure for the foreseeable future"
Someone should give Nancy LeaMond an IQ test for this statement; no sense giving Obama an IQ test because we know he doesn't know what he is doing.

President Obama and his Democrats are going to give amnesty to the Illegals before the November elections; while there are enough Democrats in Congress to vote for it. If you think SS and Medicare are being underfunded, wait till the millions and millions of Illegals start tapping the funding that We the Americans have placed into these programs. The reason the administration hasn't done anything about the Illegal situation is that The Obama Mob is waiting for the last minute before the November elections to shove this unwanted amnesty down our throats. This will destroy our economy and should be enough to impeach Obama and Mob; Obama is not upholding the Constitution.

Recently, Obama stated that his new medical plan is needed for the Seniors to afford medicine; Obama's plan is to NOT give COLA's for 2010, 2011, and 2012. So the COLA's money, which the elderly need to live off of, is not needed. So it looks like the Un-Holy Trio, Obama, Pelosi and Reid have come through for the people again. But, the young people are happy because they will get some medical care by screwing that segment of the population who can least afford to fund the "Free Medical Care". The number of years between an old person and a young person is short, which the former young will soon find out when their benefits are reduced as they age.
This sure does seem to be more and more like a third world country! It is called an Oligarchy. Obama is subverting the Constitution and should be impeached, for making deals (bribes,etc.), for acting like "The Man Who Would Be King". Maybe he is related to Nixon.
Everyone should remember to not vote for a Democrat.
Everyone should remember to not vote for a Democrat.
Everyone should remember to not vote for a Democrat.
Vote Out the Unholy Trio; Obama, Pelosi and Reid!

If three-fourths of the Stimulus Funds have NOT been used, then why does Obama and Pelosi want to take five hundred billion from the Medicare Fund and additional funding from Social Security Funding. It seems that they want the money for some reason they don't themselves know why; just for the sake of showing who is boss? They already have shown that they just have to print the money, so why rip off Medicare and the SS Cola.???

Yes, Yes Mr. President, Your intentions are transparent when you said you would rip off the Medicare Trust Fund and the Social Security Trust Fund. However, this is not what we the people mean by transparency in government. You are doing this because you figure you can get away with it; not because it is right, but rather you can't be stopped.

Our system of government has become an Oligarchy because of unrestricted term limits of the politicians.

The Congressional Budget Office says that there will be no COLA increase for Seniors for 2010, 2011, 2012. We must all thank the Obama Administration for all of this. You all that voted for these Democrats should be happy that you are getting what you voted for. Not only does the Obama Mob rip off the Medicare Trust Fund but also the Social Security Trust Fund. Keep in mind that the Politicians also rip off the social security funding for their yearly pay raises. I myself as a senior will never vote for a Democrat and I hope everyone else will vote the same way. These power crazed politicians should have a two or three term limit.

I voted for Obama in term one but never again.Every senior I have talked to said they WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA AGAIN.So he is a one term president for sure.The healthcare plan which we saw originally has been watered down to a nothing plan.Where is the "CHANGE"? There is none.
