I have a personal friend that is a surgeon and he told me Medicare payments barely cover his expenses needless to say there is any profit ,,,ohhh I guess that's a dirty word,,,a guy that works his tail off to go through medical school with the thought of making a living..

What many people don't understand is the money paid in all the working year goes to pay the people that are already collecting benefits(hence a Ponzi scheme),, Milton Freidman said that the term "SS insurance" implies there is an option for SS, which there certainly is not. There are too many takers out there that just want their obamabucks and obamaphones that will always vote to take more and more...

Amen to the Amen,,

"have the potential to cause a loss of work for our members", wow what a revelation, a job killer....I know I have heard that somewhere before...

Totalitarianism

I know a guy on disability for his back. Had surgery the whole bit. He routinely walks 18 holes of golf on a course that is very difficult to walk (I have walked it many times). He also has a disabled parking sticker, it was all I could do to keep from giving him a cussing.

I understand the deal with the payroll tax cut, but don't people know that tax is for funding SS..?? I'm all for cutting taxes but all that did was to further weaken SS..

correction that's a 26 Trillion GDP by '23..even a bigger fantasy

wow talking about voodoo economics, these voodoo numbers are really out there..if I'm reading the numbers correctly they project a 23 Trillion dollar GDP by '23...lol..where do they get that from ??

right on Mr Robinson..couldn't have said it better myself..
