Why not just repay the exact amount of money workers paid into Social Security over the years with a reasonable interest rate on that amount paid in? After they have received all their paid in money back, that's it. Can do it by monthly checks or in a lump sum.

One of us is wrong. Mackinnon or me. I think he said he left the GOP because they were too conservative, I left the GOP back in 1996 because it had become too liberal for me. I am an AMERICAN of African ancestry and a fiscal and social conservative, I don;t compromise, go along to get along, back off nor water down my core values for anybody...NEVER....and I don't play ball with liberals. Scott Brown now has one strike against him in my book since he got seated....I will see what happens in future votes.

I think Mr. Young has confused Conservatives with Republicans.

As an AMERICAN of African ancestry, all I can says is "IT IS ABOUT TIME."

As an AMERICAN of African ancestry I ask the question, if blacks are having such a hard time, whose fault is that? Maybe they should look to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton , the Black Caucus, Charlie Rangel and all the other left-wing black liberals who for decades have kept blacks enslaved to the government while killing self respect, self reliability and moral fortitude.....Liberals might play this card, but I say blacks have to stand on their own two feet and stop relying on others to take care of them....NUFF SAID..!!!

American by birth
Conservative by choice,
Christian by God.

I agree with you 100 percent...could have said it better myself.

You call them "moderates" I call them liberal Democrat wanna-bees,
Trying to turn the GOP into a Democratic-lite party is a recipe for disaster as we have seen in 2006 and 2008.....the GOP must return to its conservative roots. SHould do the right thing and join the Democratic Party, like Arlan Specter did.....good riddance to him as well

One thing I want to make abundantly clear. as an AMERICAN of African ancestry, and a retired USAF NCO, I challenge anyone out there who might try to equate being black with homosexuality. Yes blacks had a hard time years ago in the military but remember one very important fact: RACE AND GENDER ARE IMMUTABLE, HOMOSEXUALITY IS A CHOICE AND A BEHAVIOR. SO THERE IS NO EQUAL ARGUMENT TO BE MADE ....I know the left have tried to do this and I strongly oppose their argument.

If they do this open gay thing in the military; I think we should encourage all straight men and women to boycott the military services and not enlist and not reenlist.......

Prisons SHOULD be horrible places and should be the most dreaded places on earth...not country houses and suites....They should be places where even the most hardened criminal fear. The "Hug-A-Thug" mentality of our society today puts the criminal ahead of decent citizens who are their victims. And if they get out and want to commit other crimes, then put them back in. And as far as child molesters are concerned, I would prefer to line them up and shoot them, otherwise, lock them away forever in an underground dungeon.

NO SYMPATHY, NO COMPASSION FOR THESE PREDATORS AND PARASITES.
