Social Security History

As you know that would have been great for our country. No longer would we have the largest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world granting limitless power to a few hundred people in Washington.

Had we followed President Reagan's plan, blacks would no longer be discriminated against, retirement benefits would be double what they are today and there would be a substantial death benefit for your heirs.

Yes he did and the GOP has been wanting to dismantle SS ever since.

For good reason!

Or people would have been wiped out in the crashes of 87, 01, 08 or 20... while the fat cats got rich.

The difference between Reagan and the Cult of Trump is that Reagan was enough of a realist to understand that social security needed to be preserved.

That senile dead fuck was the worst thing for America and Americans until the orange, retard was installed in office.
I'm sure Reagan is happy though, he lost the title of the most corrupt president in history, thanks to Trump.

Say wut?

How would anyone have been wiped out? Markets REBOUND. Who knew?

NO ONE, Reagan nor anyone else has suggested doing away with Social Security. We have strongly suggested that the funding of Social Security be revamped.

Why do you want a system that is broken and is a PONZI SCHEME?

HA! Good one! You had me there for a minute. At first, I thought you were serious!

Um, yeah, markets rebound. People still get completely wiped out when they have to sell their remaining shares to pay the bills or cover their losses.

Wall Street is a Casino, and the house never loses.

NO ONE, Reagan nor anyone else has suggested doing away with Social Security. We have strongly suggested that the funding of Social Security be revamped.

Because, honestly, letting Wall Street Run it would be putting the foxes in charge of the Hen House.

Hey remember when Bush proposed this shit in 2005? Even Republicans balked. Then the market crashed in 2008 and everyone realized we dodged a bullet.

Who said Wall Street would run it? You would not have the liberty to buy or sell whatever stocks you want. The money would go into a fund, administered by economists. The citizen would be given a choice of say, half a dozen mutual funds.

It works in Galveston Texas and has for many years. Democrats oppose the plan because that takes all those billions and trillions of dollars out of their control.

You're FOS, as usual.

Reagan said during the 1976 RNC that he wanted to make SS voluntary.
Before 1983 SS money was put into US bonds for safe keeping and out of the treasury's pocket.
The tax scheme Reagan passed in 1983 changed all that and allowed the Reagan regime to tap into those SS funds because his tax cuts didn't raise enough revenue. (imagine that)

A thorough review of the voting records and statements of Republicans in Congress reveals a critical mass of GOPers who have supported privatizing Social Security. In total, 47 percent of House Republicans and 49 percent of Senate Republicans are on record supporting the privatization of Social Security. Some, including Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), want to go even further and “wean everybody” off of Social Security altogether.

With many prominent GOP candidates in favor of privatizing or eliminating Social Security, including Rand Paul, Ken Buck, Dan Coats, Sharron Angle, Dan Benishek, Ben Quayle, Star Parker, and Jesse Kelly, it’s likely that a GOP-controlled Congress would have the necessary votes to revisit the issue.

Right. Who do you think is running the mutual funds?

You are confused Moon Bat.

Three counties in Texas opted out of Social Security and did their own retirement investment and everybody had more than twice as much as they would have had under SS. That includes going through stock market downturns.

You Liberals never get anything right, do you? You live in a world of lies, don't you?

Social Security is a terrible plan. Let the government force you to give them your money and spend it on anything they want and maybe you will get some back for retirement. What could possibly go wrong?

How Three Texas Counties Created Personal Social Security Accounts and Prospered

Three Texas counties opted out of Social Security 30 years ago by switching to personal accounts, and those workers have made money every year.

These Moon Bats are really confused about Social Security.

They are dullards who think that they are somehow better off letting the bureaucrats manage their retirement instead of themselves.

They are too stupid and sorry to manage their own retirement.

They think the filthy government is better at taking care of them than they are themselves.

That is a fucked up mentality. It takes a real piece of dumbass shit to trust the government.

"Hey let the government take 7.5% of our money, make our employers pay in another 7.5% and then we will get a rinky dink pension one of the days but the government gets to keep the principal".

"Oh and by the way, the government will some of that money I paid in to provide disability to the welfare queens".

RWNJ's think Wall Street is the answer.
Just call Bernie Madoff.
Yeah, brilliant.

The districts in Texas that opted out of the SS Ponzi scheme did pretty damn well. We all would do better.

Nowadays the money that the filthy ass government borrows is not even secured with AAA bonds because of all the other debt the assholes in government have incurred.

The crooks on Wall Street are actually more honest than the corrupt politicians that idiots like you trust.

If you are such a moron that thinks a government bureaucrat is better at doing your retirement than you are yourself then all I can do is feel sorry for you.

You're a dumbass.
Who do you think reversed the policy of putting SS into US bonds, Reagan you dipshit.
AAA?
Isn't that the same swindle that Wall Street sold to gullible investors to buy, then found out, they were worthless.
Sure, you just won the Nigerian lottery, all we need is a processing fee.
MORON.

I don't give a shit who had a hand in this Social Security disaster.

It is a bad idea for you let the government take the money that you earn with the hopes of maybe getting some rinky dink pension in the future.

It takes a world class moron to think that some worthless bureaucrat, whose boss is a corrupt politician elected by special interest groups, is better at taking care of your retirement than yourself. What are you, an idiot that can't manage your own finances?

It is always comical to see you pathetic dullard Moon Bats thinking that the government will take care of you.
