  • What Went Wrong with California, New York, and New Jersey? [View article]
    This is true. I worked in a County position involving tracking people. We consistently found people with 'cloned' SS#'s. But SS could care less. It fascinated me that there are many Americans walking around with illegal usage of their SS#s, that don't know about it, that SS will do nothing about and will never draw against the increased income as SS knows that the secondary numbers are illegal.. It's an American Ponzi scheme..

  • California's Default Is Certain [View article]
    Just a note.. Calif has lost 25% of it's income...(We always spend more than we take in.. LOL! ) .. People discussing this subject have to ask themselves "Would an average family be able to survive a 25% drop in income after racking up their credit cards?"
