I am from the government and I am here to help!

Hey this is the "change" we can believe in!! Didn't know it mean't we are all gonna be down to pocket change once this administration gets done.

Yeah and don't forget the speaker of the house who has to have the bill passed so the "we will know what is in the bill".

Stinks to high heaven. As much as people complained about the Bush administration they are starting to look darned good about now...

I believe that passed on a bipartisan vote that was negotiated in public!

I've seen and read the Government make good decisions and bad decisions both. There is going to be good things and some bad things about this bill. I'm still waiting to see EVERYTHING that is included.....we have only been given part of what the Bill is designed to do as far as I know.

I don't rely on social security and never will. Between it, Medicare, Medicaid, and now Obamacare the country will be bankrupt before I see one nickel of all of the money I have paid into social security for naught. Shame I couldn't have kept that money and invested it my way. I would retire in style...

Don't worry KC...if history repeats itself....the US will be in some big war eventually and wipe out most of it's youth like in WWII. This will thin out the population.

[kc]

Or as the boomers retire and get old and wobbly cuts in Medicare will work at thinning the herd...

[Arauthator]

Out of all the health care reform threads going....this one is my favorite.....you guys are a funny bunch of guys. Keep em' coming in....

I would be willing to bet that you cannot find 10 people on this site that are receiving Social Security! Stupid comment on your part, if you cannot afford to pay your medical bills, why are you online? Does the government pay your ISP, so that you can join us rich folks? Do they pay your cable and cell phone bill as well?

Social Security has been ripped from ever since the gubment realized there was a surplus to steal!

I will go slooowly so you can understand! Are you with me? Most people rely on social security for their retirement. They rely on medicare and medicade so they can have security when they can no longer work. Still with me?

I'll say this real slow so YOU get it.

Most people save and invest in plans like 401k/IRA so they don't have to rely on SS fixed income.

Most people know that if you're relying solely on SS for your retirement you'll be lucky to afford a box of nightcrawlers once a month to fish with.

Most people would rather the government didn't forcibly make them pay into a broken system so they could take that money and invest it for their retirement.

Most people believe the SS system will fail because it's been managed to insolvency by the federal government, and the fact it's paying out way more than it takes in.

Did I lose you?
