Social Security

Democrats - The Party that just says No


Unfortunately when:

George W. says yes the Democrats automatically say no.
George W. says up the Democrats automatically say down.
George W. says black the Democrats automatically say white.
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

What a shame. Yet George W. gets done what needs to be done. I remember even before he was running for the White House the first time how the Democrats were insulting this man. It was outrageous yet who in the Democratic Party came to the man’s defense. No one. So much for being for the people. Yes its true, George W. is a person.

Any way, I will march forward and give my take on the Social Security issue that is infecting everybody’s lives at the moment.

The Democrats are so stupid that they can not even get their story straight.

"What should we do with this projected surplus?" Clinton said. "I have a simple four-word answer: Save Social Security first." This is taken directly from 1998 State of the Union Speech.

"We have a great opportunity now to take action now to avert a crisis in the Social Security system," Clinton said, again in February 1998. "By 2030, there will be twice as many elderly as there are today, with only two people working for every person drawing Social Security. After 2032, contributions from payroll taxes will only cover 75 cents on the dollar of current benefits. So we must act, and act now, to save Social Security." Bill Clinton's own words.

Guess who followed up with the same mantra?

Surprise! Surprise!

In September, Vice President Al Gore went to the Capitol for a Social Security pep rally with the gang of the drunk and the stupid. Democrats among who included the following:

House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (the unions stabbed me in the back)
Sen. Edward Kennedy (ever so drunk)
Sen. Barbara Boxer (stupid is as stupid gets)

Gore said "Social Security faces a serious fiscal crisis."

All of the drunk and stupid robots said the same thing.

"Save Social Security first," said Gore.
"Save Social Security first," said Gephardt.
"Save Social Security first," said Kennedy.
"Save Social Security first," said Boxer.

Now all of the sudden, there is no Social Security crisis. Alleluia!!! - did this modern day miracle come from the heavens? Did it just fix itself? Did the Social Security system win some kind of secret lottery that could just whisk away the Social Security crisis, oh my!
OR
Are the Democrats just a lying, bottom of the barrel scum using people's fears for political gain? Surprise! Surprise!
All I know is this; I have been hearing for a while that Social Security is in trouble. All I can say is FIX IT.

This country throughout its history has:

won its independence from another country
fought and won over evil many times
put men on the moon and sent rockets further out into space
cried and overcame obstacles that destroyed American lives
there are many more statements I can say about this country

But when it comes to Social Security, the political games the Democrats are playing are dangerous to the welfare of this country and its citizens. There are many political parties, religions and beliefs in this country. This is fantastic. Are we citizens not all Americans? Should politics really be played with decisions that will affect us all? This should stop. As Americans, our politicians are our employees not gods that can not be fired. Stop playing politics, fix this problem. Do not fix something that is not broke. Do fix something that is broken. I do not care who fixes it. I do not care who gets the credit, (this is why the Democrats refuse to go with anything that George W, wants to do). JUST FIX IT.

Stop being a pendulum.

It’s a crisis.
It’s not a crisis.
It’s a crisis.
It’s not a crisis.
It’s a crisis.
It’s not a crisis.

Stop already and get it done. Democrats get on board.

Let us be realistic.
Let us make sure whoever paid into the system gets their money back.
If the people can put up to four percent of their money into conservative stocks and make more money, let them do it.

How come it is okay for government employees to do this?
How come the Democrats are not screaming about taking this investment option away from the government employees if this idea is so bad?
Are there any Democrats that are government employees investing in stocks using part of their retirement accounts? Hmmm, I wonder.
Are the Democrats trying to insinuate that government employees are deserving of this while the average citizen is not?
Are the Democrats trying to insinuate that the average citizen is too stupid to invest in stocks?

When I die, I should able to leave the rest of my Social Security to my loved ones, let me do it. When that money is inherited it should not taxed.

Remember - Keep a frown upside!
