Lead singer of the band "Against me" wants a sex change because he's a lesbian trapped in man's body... Your view (I mean Rush's view) of "Obamacare" is so skewed and misinformed I don't even know where to start. ____________ -Dave #2 | |

49 percent of Americans live in households that receive some form of government benefits...based on data from 2010...A significant proportion of government assistance comes in the form of Social Security and Medicare...“means-tested” programs, such as food stamps, Medicaid, and housing assistance, around 35 percent | |

quote] I'll reiterate. The biggest chunk of your so called "entitlement people", are receiving Social Security and Medicare... If you want these things cut hey more power to you. You are much closer to retiring than me, I will have time to explore alternatives, will you or all the nations other retirees? I cannot believe you right wing nuts group retirees collecting their SS, in with welfare recipients. More uninformed idiocy. ____________ -Dave #2 | |

Your view (I mean Rush's view) of "Obamacare" is so skewed and misinformed I don't even know where to start. Well, lets see. IIRC, it was to give free health care to 60M, then 50M, then 30M people, right? What is health care? Well, health care is services from the medical community, right? And we can't do anything that can remotely suggest anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or bigotted, right? You can't refute what the majority voted for Tuesday night or my logical conclusion. | |

I don't want to cut Social Security or Medicare. I want what I've got coming to me, just like everybody else. | |

Guy, your walking on thin ice with the racist thing, we are all venerable including those with Hispanic surnames. | |

Guy, your walking on thin ice with the racist thing, we are all venerable including those with Hispanic surnames. Venerable? I don't understand what you're trying to tell me. Please elaborate. ven·er·a·ble, adjective 1. commanding respect because of great age or impressive dignity; worthy of veneration or reverence, as because of high office or noble character: a venerable member of Congress. 2. a title for someone proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church to have attained the first degree of sanctity or of an Anglican archdeacon. 3. (of places, buildings, etc.) hallowed by religious, historic, or other lofty associations: the venerable halls of the abbey. 4. impressive or interesting because of age, antique appearance, etc.: a venerable oak tree. 5. extremely old or obsolete; ancient: a venerable automobile. Did you mean "vulnerable?" | |

Now if an actuary calculated the funding level year to year and the contributions for a year matched that calculation, then you could call them a pension and insurance, until then, Ponzi Scheme entitlement is the correct label. ____________ | |

If I understand the way it was setup, That money we (volunteerd) was never meant to be put used or put in the general fund. It was for social security only. Just like our SS number was never to be used as ID. Ive seen some people use the term that Americans dont have to carry a national ID . Well an SS card is that ID. I ask any politician perusing this forum. If you can fund stupid wars to the tune of trillions of dollars why cant you make SS solvent? Why cant you just pay back all the money you have ripped out of SS over the years to pay for stupid wars? Just give SS one trillion dollars and lets see hpw that works out over the next 50 years. And as far as an entitlement, Gary as long as I have to pay into the ponzi scheme its my damn right to get back what I stinking put in. ____________ | |

It's not intended to. The college, being based on the number of congresspeople (both Representatives and Senators) a state sends to DC is deliberately skewed to favor low population states. As the President is executive leader of a federation of states, it's the states that decide who will hold the office. Bobby is correct on this one. And it is not the State Governors that have the power to appoint the Presidential electors. That power is given to the State legislatures ONLY. And as the US Constitution requires the several State governments to be Republics, just as it does the Federal government, where is the problem? The People, after all, voted for 'their' members of their state's legislature, just as they vote for 'their' members of Congress. Where is the problem? ____________ AMD Athlon II X3-450 | |
