Again not a dime of future SS taxes should be spent on anything but SS benefits. The IOU's should begin being paid off with 'real assets' not special issue promises. Doing this alone would reduce the debt by $3.6 trillion and force DC to control / cut spending while protecting our own. |

You really should consider moving to another country, where you would be happier. Rather than trying to dismantle this country. Move where you are not taxed and forced to suffer by taking societal benefits. That would have to be a second or third world country, though. All the remaining AAA countries have socialized medicine or national healthcare available to all, longer vacation hours, earlier retirement, better pensions, goverment loans for small business startup, maternity leave, etc. The truth is that Social Security will pay out 100% of it's benefits until 2037, and then pay out 78% of benefits if nothing at all is done.

Hang Seng -912.22 (-4.85%)
CAC 40 -122.09 (-4.15%) DAX -198.1 (-3.51%) FTSE -213.95 (-4.05%) Should be an interesting day. Don't worry! Bernanke will reprise his role as mother bird and vomit a solution into the bankers mouths. |

Dow drops 600 points at one point today? Possible. Futures at -240. That's ridiculously high and the Euro markets are still going down...especially the FTSE.

We Corporate Jet owners are happy to help. It should be just enough money to buy a few shovels and a couple of port-a-sh*ters.

Won't drop that low, the programs maintain it a little better than that. Though the fear of a 20% tax increase on already taxed moneys does make people nervous...
