Geez, the man rebuilt our economy from shambles. Yes, he got a ****job in the White House. I doubt , however, he was the first President to do so. All I see here is some guy trying to sell his book. Has it come to a point in America that if you are NOT a Republican you are Anti-American? Not all Democrats (note: I left you some room here) are out to turn us over to the first nation that wants a piece of us.
 The major difference between Bill Clinton and every other President that has taken the oath is the current state of our Press Corps. Every single one of them wants to be the next Woodward and Bernstein. If we had put the same scrutiny to the last 10 Presidents we would be speaking Russian today. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and a First Lady all  had a Mistress. 99% of the country didn't know FDR was wheelchair bound. Truman was given his start in Washington politics by a known Organized Crime Leader. Our current President and Vice President have some VERY shady deals rattling around in their closets.
 The pedestal Oliver North has been placed upon stupefies me. He sold drugs in wholesale fashion and lied about it to Congress, but somehow he is a Super Patriot now. Yes, he is a convicted Felon...but He's Republican so it's okie dokie. Wonder how much of the drug profits went on to support Terrorism like Homeland Security is telling us.
 Point is, quit beating a dead horse. I don't think he's going to be elected to anything anytime soon...or later for that matter.

The fact that you aren't smart enough to manage your retirement funds doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to.

I hear this all the time "BOO BOO they are calling me anti american if Im not a rep, or I dont tow the party line"


It's BS, who called you anti American? I didn't nor do I think you are.

I think maybe deep down you might feel it though, since you and people like you keep bringing it up. Jeez just cause we dont agree does not mean I am going to label you... get over it.

I may think you are not very smart, but hell, that's your right, right up there with thinking everyone you don't agree with thinks you are anti american. You are wrong, but hey it is your right.

BTW SOB, I agree you should be able to manage that money. But that should disqualify you from S.S.    fair enough?

SS saves us from alot more trouble then you guys realize. of course if you enjoy watching old people starve to death then maybe we should get rid of it. Of course their generation realized it was a good thing to have around have the 1930s.

The system is a broke-down turd.  End it, and end it now.  People forced to pay into the system up to this point should continue to recieve benefits, and that will hurt, but keeping a broke-down system in place is not the answer.

Hell, if they halved my current SS contribution I could do better for myself with the other half than what I'm likely to recieve from SS when I retire...if I'm fortunate enough to live long enough to qualify at whatever age will be required by then.  And if I die before I reach my planned retirement age, my family or an organization of my choosing will get the money I've saved and invested...not the government.

Well, like I said, SOB makes a good point. If you want to manage that money instead you should be able to, it's your money. But in the future if your investments do not come to fruition, you will have to look to welfare, not S.S. for retirement.

Hell yeah, that would be perfectly fine by me.  And you don't need to be a stock market wiz to invest your money wisely.  There are plenty of alternatives to the stock market, and if you aren't saavy there are plenty of businesses around to help you plan out your retirement goals.
