Social Security Trust Fund 2009: Economy Has Crippled the Fund, Major Overhaul Now Needed [View article]
Re
I know folks who are collecting on 2-3 large pensions , with a couple ,+ are receiving SS benefits , Many of these folks household income is well over $100000/YEAR + INVESTMENTS. Means testing on total household income IS the only FAIR way to fix this . Many disabled folks did NOT have the luxury of working to a ripe old age + saving many years before they were disabled . Once means testing is done in view of Total retirement income , including pensions , private + public sector, FOOD should be added back in to the COLA adjustments . I CAN:T believe how greedy some folks are !

All states budgetary problems would be instantly cured with cuts in state employees pensions + benefits . Hell a retiree in the Ga " educational system retires at around 100000 with their social security. Fix social security ? EASY , take everyone off of it that has large federal, state + miltary pensions . All of these folks double dipping + some even tripple dipping are bankrupting our state , federal + county budgets . why the hell should these folks live large while evweryone else is suffering ? Yes , I sense a HUGE revolution is coming as I hear folks refering to it . NOT going to be pretty as lots of folks going to die - All sides .

Why should not state , county , Fed employees be let go to balance the budgets in these HUGE areas ? ARE you implying government employees should be immune to the " greater carnage " in the larger economy ? Hell , the skyrocking property taxes are the main reason folks in these areas are walking away from their properties . I know many government employees , especially at the Fed level . They ALWAYS have plenty of energy , PLENTY of money . ,They barely work 3-4 hours a day . WHAT is WRONG with this picture ?

your observations are indeed valid . Look at metro Birmingham , aL . almost 1/2 the folks I've met there have had serious cancer issues + /or their spouses + siblings . This is due to 2 primary reasons . For many years Alabama had absolutely no economic activity . it's government allowed at least 3 sites for disposal of " hazardous nuclear wastes ". A friend of mine in Ga , born in Alabama confirms this stating ' she would NEVER live there . # 2 Alabama is DUE south from ' nuclear haven USA ", Oakridge , Tennesee . i remember reading many years ago articles about " all the small children living near the tennesee River dying of cancer ". THIS is an outrage ! John Edwards was totally against nuclear power . His wife died of breast cancer + he truly knows of its horrendous effects .

I read today where government approved a $ 1000 per child credit to 16 million poor folks . They did NOT approve a mere $250 payment to retiress ! Face it folks , Gen X + Gen Y , work your whole life , pay into the system + die cold + hungry . If the US is broke , why are we able to fund 2 " unending " wars ? I agree with the post on j S Mineset today stating " that any nation that does NOT care for it's elderly is a 3rd world nation . There is NO incentive in this country to educate yourself , work Hard live buy the rules as you will be fleeced . Great message for younger folks .The BOOMERS + elderly are being hung out to dry in broad daylight !

You are totally correct . IMF publically stated more than a year ago " that global wages will soon meet parity ". In other words , American workers wages will plummet to meet that of Mexican , Asian + Indian workers so the large Co CEO 's can make more trillions from the NAFTA + GAT treaty . The US standard of living is plummeting as we write . Welcome to AMERIKA ! The US economy was sold off during the CLINTON administration ! Follow history folks .
You are both correct . Matt Taibbli IS correct . My sister an attorney explained to me about a year ago , she said " they will save the welfare recipiants cause if they don't , they'll burn the cities down ". they'll let the retired workers die , as they won't riot + burn cities down ". Note , she IS a DC attorney . WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE ?
