Social Security Only Benefits Politicians

“Everyone seems to forget the purpose of the Social Security “trust” fund. The stated purpose is to help to provide for the retirement of the participants. Some people seem actually to believe that!

“Like most entities created in Washington, this is not the real purpose at all. The social security taxes are meant to provide funds which the politicians can use to buy votes for their next election.

“When you look at it from this perspective, Social Security makes a lot of sense. It has been doing a wonderful job! We continue to see 90% plus re-election rates. Don’t expect the beneficiaries of Social Security (our elected officials) to make a lot of changes. Perhaps they may institute changes to bring in more money…..

The Social Security Trust Fund is broke, out of money; if not today, then very soon.

Politicians have created a system to secretly supply the government with YOUR money.  Now when the Trust Fund is broke, they will cut social security benefits;  the politicians have stolen your retirement.

What are YOU going to do?

Live in a homeless shelter, eat bread and water, be buried in potters field?

This will happen unless YOU do something different.

This blog has the solution.

SENIORS — Refusing To Help Themselves

As everybody but the fools know, social security and medicare are broke.  With the budget problems, medicare and social security are prime targets for deep cuts.

Seniors are sitting around waiting for the politicians and government to save these programs.  The seniors are whistling in the dark, hoping the bogey man will not get them.  Well, the bogey man is just around the corner.

For those baby boomers about to start receiving social security and medicare, they better postpone retirement;  or they can live in a homeless shelter.

With seniors and seniors to be, making up a large share of population; it makes no sense for them, working together, not to save social security and medicare.

To do this, seniors have to stop relying on the two main political parties.

The solutions is two-fold:

Obama Admits That Medicare and Social Security Are Going Bust

Written by Gary North on April 11, 2013

President Obama’s proposed budget targets seniors. It proposes a different way of calculating the consumer price index. The new way will produce lower CPI figures. Why is this important to the budget? Because Social Security and Medicare have built-in cost-of-living adjustments. By lowering the official CPI figure, which is used to calculate benefits, the government can save money. Will this lower the rate of increase in prices? Of course not. Will this make it cheaper for seniors to live? Of course not. But it will make it appear that Medicare and Social Security are in a slightly shallower hole. How deep is this hole? Prof. Lawrence Kotlikoff said it was $222 trillion last summer. It’s higher today. It’s probably pushing $230 trillion today. That’s the present value of future unfunded obligations. Will Obama’s proposal change anything fundamental? No. But he thinks it justifies his call for higher taxes. The proposal at least caught the attention of a New York Times columnist. He wrote: But to Mr. Obama, cost-saving changes in the nation’s fastest-growing domestic programs are more progressive than simply allowing the entitlement programs for older Americans to overwhelm the rest of the budget in future years. What was that word? Overwhelm. You read it in The New York Times. Did you read that right? Yes. He used it again. The president’s views put him at the head of a small but growing faction of liberals and moderate Democrats who began arguing several years ago that unless the party agrees to changes in the entitlement benefit programs — which are growing unsustainably as baby boomers age and medical prices rise — the programs’ costs will overwhelm all other domestic spending to help the poor, the working class and children. “The math on entitlements is just not sustainable,” said Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, one of the few Democrats to unequivocally endorse Mr. Obama’s budget. “And if you’re not finding ways to reform, where do you squeeze? Well, then you squeeze early-childhood programs, you squeeze Head Start, you squeeze education and veterans.” What’s that again? “Not sustainable”? What has been the response of most Democrats in Washington? Some are outraged. Others are mute. A few are supportive. How much will the proposed tinkering with the formula save the government? $230 billion. To which are added the obligatory words: “over ten years.” So, it will save $23 billion a year. And how far is the retirement system in the hole? Maybe $230 trillion. Why did Obama do this? It is his way to avoid sequestration, which he agreed to in 2011. He doesn’t want a slowdown in federal spending. Will Republicans agree to the cuts? Of course not. They will campaign against him for proposing them. Representative Greg Walden of Oregon, who is the head of the House Republicans’ campaign committee, told CNN that the budget was “a shocking attack on seniors.” Conclusion: “His words were interpreted as a signal that in the 2014 midterm elections Republican candidates will again accuse Democrats of trying to cut Medicare and Social Security. . . .” So, the Democrats are trying to blame House Speaker John Boehner. They say the cuts are his idea. We are on the Titanic. We have hit the iceberg. So, let’s rearrange the deck chairs.

Politicians Still Will/Can Not Fix Social Security

 A new bill just introduced, HR 1160, aims “to set the retirement benefits age for today’s six-year-olds at age 70.”

Just keep pushing the retirement age back, soon the retirement age will be 150.  No one will reach retirement age, soon no social security benefits to be paid.  Another way to end social security.

Moreover, based on the government’s own monkey mathematics, social security faces an $8.6 trillion shortfall over the next 75-years… which is precisely the window of today’s kids.

It seems almost surreal that a politician’s solution to this is to move the goalposts back by a mere 3-5 years on receiving benefits.

Social Security can be saved:  without moving the retirement age back or cutting benefits.  Just a simple easy fix that could have been implemented years ago.

So, why have the politicians not done this?

Ask them.

Follow our blog to get social security fixed, NOW.

AARP Social Security Television Advertisements

AARP has been running television advertisements implying that it is the only one that can protect social security.

This is a BIG FAT LIE.

aarp cannot protect social security!

The federal government is continuously increasing its budget deficits.  As a result, politicians are going to cut spending.  As social security and medicare are two of the biggest budget categories, these are prime targets for cuts.  Social security and medicare WILL BE cut.

aarp can do nothing to stop this.  No advice from aarp will enable SENIORS to stop this.

So, what can SENIORS do?

Only one thing will work; follow this blog.

A plan has been worked out that will save social security and medicare; without privatization.  No one else has this plan and no one will come up with any other plan that will save social security and medicare.

What are you going to do?

Watch social security and medicare disappear?  Watch the quality of life deteriorate for seniors?  Or follow this blog and save social security and medicare.  YOUR choice.

SENIORS’ PROBLEMS RECAP

Here is the short list: Social Security, Medicare, retirement security, caring for a nation of elders.

These problems are only going to get worse.

With the Federal budget deficit growing faster and faster,  politicians are going to be looking for more and more cost cuts.  Since social security and medicare are two of the largest shares of the budget, they are going to be prime targets for reduction.

And politicians WILL cut social security and medicare.  And once the cuts start, the cuts will become easier and more often.

At the same time, prices will rise for food and shelter.  The end result could be SENIORS living under a bridge and eating out of garbage cans.  Extreme, but this is where the nation is heading.

So, while YOU very stupid SENIORS keep on voting for the same incompetent and corrupt politicians, these problems could be solved.

This blog has the answers.

So, follow this blog, get all your family and friends to follow this blog; organization is part of the process.

But you will not do this; no, you will not believe that the only source of the answers is this blog.

We have ours and it is your choice whether you will get yours.

Myths About u-bam-a care

Many people think u-bam-a care is the way to improve health care in the United States.  These people dream of cheaper coverage, coverage for the uninsured, better heath care, and everything else.  As they say, “ain’t gonna happen”.

Some of the common myths about u-bam-a care are:

-health care costs will be brought under control

-it will regulate medicare drug costs

-pre-existing conditions will be covered

-everyone will have health care

NONE OF THIS WILL HAPPEN!

u-bam-a care increases health care costs while reducing the quality of health care.  It will also be a step toward the rationing of health care.
