It is not rocket science to project expenditures for the future, and current value, etc, etc. If you are NOT taking in the money you used to......and you have more using the services than EVER BEFORE, you're going to run out.

You can add 30-40 years to when Social Security will run out simply by extending the age when you can start collecting by 2-3 years. YES MY FRIENDS........2 or 3 years. WHAT is the big freakin deal. Extend the age, or run out. SOUNDS EASY to me.

FIX Unemployment.......meaning get 20 million folks back to work. AND working at a decent wage, and you FIX the **** problem. Just figure 20 million folks at 20,000 bucks a year. Figure 10 percent in income taxes.......that is 40 billion dollars a year in new revenue. While a dent in the bucket, it is MONEY. AT 40,000 per year per person, you've added nearly a trillion dollars in tax revenue over 10 years, and over a trillion dollars in 10 years in medicare and medicate taxes ( assuming 6.5 percent per employee, and 6.5 percent for the employer).

On a side note.......Extending Unemployment benefits are about a trillion dollars of our current problem. over 10 years, we've extended these benefits 10 times. FIND a GD job..........anything.

Finally......while I'm on it.

I was talking to a buddy a few days ago........20 years ago, they had sharecroppers from Arkansas, who would travel up the northern growing corridor, harvesting crops for any and ALL who needed help. About 10 years ago, these sharecroppers stopped traveling. The told my friends family that they made more money off of WELFARE, Unemployment and gubment assistance than by WORKING. WHAT a crock of horseshit. This is the DIRECT effect of these programs. LOSE the programs and I bet we could create a kick ass workforce in EVERY type of work. EVERY. Instead, we create a section of society who would rather mooch off the gubment and STEAL my future.

That section of society is growing too! It's common sense, why work at minumum wage when you can go on welfare and receive spending money, EBT for food, free medical care, free day care, and 2 years free education? It is the same thing in the workplace at a smaller scale. If you have one guy that goofs off all day and the supervisor doesn't do anything about it. Other workers will start to goof off all day too. Sooner or later the majority of workers are goofing off all day. The remaining workers are doing all the work and are becoming disillusioned with the system and the job. This creates violence in the workplace, substandard products of low quality and the eventual closing of the workplace.
