Obama is a very clever politician. He used this totally ABSURD 'birther' crap very well. If I was Obama, i'd want my opponents talking about it too.

So while everybody is talking about the President's birth certificate, the REAL news of the day gets glanced over.

Gee... Who saw inflation coming?

Hooray for fake money! My daughter is totally screwed, but the boomers get to keep their SS! Woot!

Your daughter had better learn early to work hard, save, and invest. That is what we have done all these years along with our folks who lived through a depression & had nothing. Also tell her not to live beyond her means. Learn to save her pennies early on. If you don't need it you can do without. Forget about the SS thing get off of it. It is just a pettily part of what is wrong with our country.

The baby boomers give back to society by volunteering many many many hours. They are not leeches asking for handouts.

Medicare is not completely FREE. We have to pay into it along with acquiring a supplemental policy along with supplementing any drugs we may need.

Well, as best we can, we already live this way. But saving our pennies won't matter a hill of beans if those pennies are worthless. THAT is what I am getting at.

Sorry, but no. SS is NOT a "petty" thing. Were it run as was intended, it would be in fair shape. Right now, its full of IOUs. The Keynesian geniuses don't think that is a problem, 'because we just owe that money to ourselves'.

If that does not indicate a problem to you... There is nothing more to discuss.

Heh... Until someone tries to cut it, to try to ensure that our posterity has SS available to them as well....

No, not all 'boomers' are leeches. But they sure did a good job setting up their posterity for failure.

Economics is not a game, it works on natural LAW. We can screw around and play games all we want... Sooner or later, the bills come due. The boomers don't really have to worry about that all too much. Hannah does.

Sucks to be born and already be in the hole a quarter million dollars.
