SS is broke? Prove it.
Socialist Insecurity is a Ponzi Scheme that would land its initiators in prison if it were introduced in the private sector.
As an investment for retirement security? A drunk, retarded monkey could get a better return on investment than is offered through the SSA...
Really? Well Prove it.

Americans may have certainly taken care of each other in the absence of formalized access to affordable health care, but that support did little to drastically ameliorate the fears and anxieties of seniors. As Ted Marmor explains in The Politics of Medicare, The biggest fears included not being able to pay for care and risking turning to children or siblings for help, or it meant relying on the charitable attitude of the doctor or hospital. Most profoundly, it was the sense that illness or injury bad enough themselves could be disastrous for family finances unless you were lucky enough to have retiree coverage from a union or government plan.
Indeed, prior to Medicares enactment in 1965, about one-half of Americas seniors did not have hospital insurance, more than one in four elderly were estimated to go without medical care due to cost concerns, and one in three seniors were living in poverty. Today, nearly all seniors have access to affordable health care and only about 14 percent of seniors are below the poverty line.

How in the hell can Social Security be broke when it currently has a $2.5 trillion surplus?
Yeah, well he benefited from them.
Yes... they do.
Those liberal policies let illegals run amuck!
How....? They did it legally.
His parents actually know what socialism and comunism bring. I know folks who came here from Cuba and they dont like what they see going on in DC.
...or maybe it's predicated on the belief that human beings are generally rational and when it comes to retirement planning they incorporate social security into their expected benefits. If you have someone subsidizing your retirement income, then you don't need to make as much or save as much money as you would otherwise. It's called common sense to most people.
So Americans are not only lazy, they are also stupid to be using failed capitalism.
Do you want to actually address what I said? I never mentioned anything about laziness or 'failed capitalism'. But you like to infer unrelated, unintended meaning in order to obfuscate, so I'm not suprised to get a response like that from you.

If that were true then why was Obama worried that he might not be able to send out Social Security checks if the debt ceiling wasn't raised?

You are crazy.
.
What makes Rubio's fantasy so shit laden is that in the days of yesteryear, if family/church/community had been doing an adequate job of taking care of the sick, the needy, and the elderly,
there would have been no incentive for Social Security and Medicare to come into existence.
Anyone else notice that Lactater left his own thread after the above was posted?How in the hell can Social Security be broke when it currently has a $2.5 trillion surplus?
Don't bother. You'll just get more BS.

Because until the my hero Barry Obama came along, being invested in US treasuries was considered the safest investment in the world.
