    Bush "Explains" His Social Security Scam

    Hoot, I am in total agreement with you. I also believe that if the borrowed funds from Social Security were put back into the system we would be in less of a compromised position. The Bush plan wants to eliminate the debt to the Social Security plan, which if it is done, this would assuredly...

    Greenspan Urges Caution on Social Security

    Vague, thank you for your reply. I have been a moderator of another site and administrator of two sites and I can understand the reasoning you have made. I have seen the abuse from editing first hand and am glad to know how your site treats the editing process. Thank you very much.

    Pacridge I do thank you for sharing that with me. I did try to edit post but all that showed at bottom was quote and fast reply. Is there something else I should have done when signing up to have edit there. After I submitted and came back a few minutes later, edit disappeared which is when I...

    I would like to acknowledge a mistake in this last post I made....it is the Brookings Institute and not Bloomberg. Sorry for mistake.

    Greenspan Urges Caution on Social Security

    Gordon your apology is accepted but I would ask that you not put a response to another poster in your reply unless you indicate who you are actually responding to. I never said anything about socialism and I am not looking at this in a political view. I did not say the plan was right or wrong...

    Greenspan Urges Caution on Social Security

    I handle debate very well....it is not demeaning comments I do not want to address.....case in point....I am and received a degree in accounting not bookkeeping. For this reason, I choose to end what could have been a good debate for demeaning another is not a way to address the issues. So...

    Anomaly that is what the private accounts will be set up for. They will be like the 401K plan whereby you set aside monies to invest in stock or bonds for your retirement account. It is hazy like you state, but the intention is to have you invest in your retirement based on risky programs...

    As you are misquoting gordon I prefer to end this conversation for it sure appears you are incapable of reading very carefully the posts of others. I am here for sharing what I believe is problematic on this issue and believe I have stated that quite well. Thanks

    Greenspan Urges Caution on Social Security

    Having been an accountant for many years before disability and working in a small business industry, I am quite aware of what I am saying and what you have just said proves my point. Your profits are not your salary, your salary is deducted from your profits based on what is left after...

    Will any nation ever attempt an attack on American soil (not terriorst)?

    I would say no in the same manner we have not used nuclear weapons on another nation. Nuclear weapons are used as a deterrent to have checks and balances on nations who have them. It is much like the cold war where Russia and the United States threatened each other which such actions of using...

    Bush "Explains" His Social Security Scam

    Pacridge I am one of those who did not have a hard time receiving my benefits. I have heard of others, such as your case, who do deserve the benefit but have been denied three and four times. Each person who has gone through this process eventually had to hire a lawyer and from there benefits...

    Bush "Explains" His Social Security Scam

    As one who is getting $763.00 a month after paying for medicare, I would much rather be working than ...as you say....sitting on my "fat" butt...although it is far from "fat". I was hit with a congenital eye disease that has left me with little eyesight left but for the efforts my eye doctor...

    Greenspan Urges Caution on Social Security

    I would like to offer my apologies....I did mean Enron and not Exon. I do believe what happened to those people at Enron should be remembered though before signing on to the Bush plan. Thanks for informing me of my mistake.

    Greenspan Urges Caution on Social Security

    I understand what you are saying but you have two issues....take home pay or gross earnings. You also state well the issue of small businesses and the problems they face. The larger issue of Exxon is just as important as the issues you are concerned with as a prior small business owner. 1...
