An “Entitlement???”

What the “H#@ll” is wrong here?

Calling Social Security an “Entitlement” program is like calling access to one’s own bank account an “Entitlement”!

It is nonsense and so is any plan which ties the Federal Deficit to Social Security.
A
The federal government now includes Social Security in its debt portfolio, not because the program is insolvent or ever was, and not because the Federal government has to fund it in any sense (Social Security is funded by YOUR investments) but because the Federal government has STOLEN so much money from the fund, then sold special treasury securities on those STOLEN funds to countries like China to finance the massive debt accruing across the board.
A
Since there is no chance the national debt can ever be repaid, the Fed is now in the position of finagling the discharge of internal debt from the books. Look at it as a form of back door bankruptcy.
A
Remember, not only did YOU contribute to Social Security but YOUR employer did too. It totaled 15% of YOUR income before taxes.

If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500.
If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours and your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (me) you’d have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years, and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!
If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you’d have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.

The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.

Footnote:

In 1964 President Linden Johnson put Social Security into the General Fund and took it out of the LOCK BOX!
A
Since 1964, the Social Secuity fund has been plundered and the surplus from the fund used to finance wars and the daily operations of the federal government.
A
The STOLEN Social Security funds are now approaching $3 Trillion. That is $3 trillion dollars of FICA taxes STOLEN from generations of American workers for a specific purpose that the federal government STOLE and then sold special treasury notes on.
A
This is a debt owed by the federal government (USA Corp) to all American workers who had FICA taxes deducted from their paychecks, but which the U.S. Government never had any intention of paying back!
A
This is why Social Security is referred to as an unfunded liability. It is a massive cash liability for a debt owed to generations of working Americans.
A
As the amount STOLEN from the investments of workers grows, so does the unfunded liability incurred.
A
But there are a few people in Washington who "get it" and they have not been afraid to speak out.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
The White House is making a mistake if they think they can deal away these programs, come waltzing up to the Senate and we'll go along with what the President has dealt away.
A
Those on Social Security – and their family members – have peace of mind knowing they have Social Security and Medicare to back them up. Benefits flow widely throughout society on this. (Senator Sheldon Whitehouse [D-RI]).

Senator Bernie Sanders

The American people are very clear. They understand that for the last 75 years, Social Security has paid out every nickel it was supposed to.
A
Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit.
A
Social Security is funded by the payroll tax, not by the U.S. Treasury.
A
Social Security has a $2.6 trillion surplus today.
A
It can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible American for the next 25 years.
A
It is an enormously popular program.
A
Poll after poll from the American people says don't cut Social Security. Two and a half years ago when Barack Obama, then a senator from Illinois, ran for president of the United States, he made it very clear if you voted for him there would be no cuts in Social Security.
A
But it's not just Social Security. We have 50 million Americans today who have no health insurance at all. Under the Gang of Six proposals, there will be cuts in Medicare over a 10-year period of almost $300 billion.
A
There will be massive cuts in Medicaid and other health care programs. There will be caps on spending, which mean that there will be major cuts in education.
A
If you are a working-class family, hoping that you're going to be able to send your kid to college and thinking that you will be eligible for a Pell grant, think twice about that. Pell grants may not be there.
A
If you're a senior who relies on a nutrition program, that nutrition program may not be there. If you think it's a good idea that we enforce clean air and clean water provisions so that our kids can be healthy, those provisions may not be there because there will be major cuts in environmental protection.
A
This Senator is going to fight back. I was not elected to the United States Senate to make devastating cuts in Social Security, in Medicare, in Medicaid, in children's programs, while lowering tax rates for the wealthiest people in this country.(Senator Bernie Sanders [I-VT])

All of this has come about as a result of the Democrat President Johnson who declared that these surplus funds would be added to the general fund. Once there, the funds could be used for anything and everything.
A
Apparently Presidents Johnson, Bush, Jr., and Obama have forgoten what President Roosevelt said?

Apparently Presidents Johnson, Bush, Jr., and Obama have also forgoten what President Kennedy said?

President John F. Kennedy

What measures did you take to strengthen the Social Security Act?

To what extent were your decisions motivated by a desire to expand coverage?
By a desire to increase efficiency?

In 1961, I signed into law a series of Social Security Amendments that represented a step towards eliminating many of the hardships of old age, disability, or untimely death of a family’s wage-earner.
A
I have always believed that the nation’s strength lies in the continued well-being of its people, and changes in our population, working habits, and in our standards of living required further revision of Social Security to maintain that well-being. The 1961 Amendments made Social Security more effective and more beneficial for recipients.[1]
A
Specifically, the 1961 reforms lowered the eligibility age for old-age and survivors insurance benefits from 65 to 62 with an accompanying actuarial reduction, and increased the minimum monthly benefit payable to all retirees. Benefit payment levels were also increased to widows, orphans, and needy children, while the retirement test was made more generous. Finally, a tax increase scheduled for 1969 was moved forward one year to 1968, while employers were required to pay a slightly higher Social Security contribution rate.[2]
A
These changes reflected my continued belief that public welfare must be more than a salvage operation, picking up the debris from the wreckage of human lives. The emphasis must be not only on the long-range costs in terms of the budget, but the long-range costs in human terms as well.[3]
A
I urged Congress to further amend the Social Security Act to ensure that States receiving Federal funds not exclude otherwise eligible persons on the basis of harsh residence requirements for the aged, blind, and disabled. Increased mobility is a hallmark of our economic times and should not be unfairly punitive on individual families.[4]
A
But to encourage flexibility and efficiency in welfare programs, I recommended that my Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare identify mechanisms to simplify the coordination, administration, and operation of programs, to increase experimental and pilot projects and local levels. The steps I recommended to Congress were not cheap, but restored human dignity and, by increasing the well-being of citizens, would save money in the long run.[5]
A
Editor’s Note:

President John F. Kennedy’s domestic policy agenda primarily concerned areas outside of Social Security. Thus during his short-lived presidency, Kennedy was responsible only for minor changes to the Social Security Act. However, it was clear from his speeches and proposals that though important, President Kennedy viewed budgetary cost cutting as a distinctly secondary goal in comparison to improving the plight of the old-aged and disabled.
A
Kennedy still acknowledged the importance of improving efficiency in program administration, notably calling for state and local-level policy experimentation while supporting more flexible state approaches to funding challenges.
A
A final noteworthy point is that Kennedy, like many of his predecessors, was comparatively unafraid to include conversations about tax increases, providing these were framed in the correct way and phased in with a substantial time delay.

As only one example of demonic deliberate deception:

THE DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American Skull and Bones, George Bush, Jr. had to cover up the loss of revenues from the welfare tax cuts to the upper 3% of Americans - all of the BILLIONAIRES and the MEGA MULTI-MILLIONAIRES!

It was imperative that his DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American Skull and Bones Administration be able to cover up the loss by showing a presumed increase in revenues that was supposed to have resulted from this preferential treatment of the super wealthy.
A
Surplus funds were stripped from Social Security, along with any unused funding from any other program, then added to the general revenue column as though these increases were generated as an actual result of the welfare tax cuts!

These STOLEN funds with their new designation as revenue were then used as proof that these welfare tax cuts were beneficial.
XXX
It's all a LIE by THE DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American Skull and Bones, George Bush, Jr.!
A
The middle and working classes must now endure the THE DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American Skull and Bones, George Bush, Jr. DEPRESSION!!!
A
Every administration has, without exception used the same tactics to hide preferential treatment of their cronies; to cover up expenditures for things most of us would find highly objectionable.

In 1993, DEMOCRAT President Bill Clinton made Social Security taxable! You pay tax on 85% of S.S.!
A
Most of the American public is totally clueless as to the deceptive accounting practices being used to fool them, and most still have no idea that the budget presented to the public is the simplified budget and only includes carefully presented revenues and expenses meant to portray a specific picture of the nations financial dealings.
A
Many more Americans are totally unaware that there is another budget referred to as the unified budget which shows all revenues from every source and every expense of any kind and a budget which, if we were to view it and understand the true implications, would most likely scare the h@#ll out of most of us!
A
“Entitlement”, baloney! I paid CASH for my Social Security insurance!!!!
A
Just because THE DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American politicians “borrowed” - STOLE - YOUR MONEY and MY MONEY, doesn’t make YOUR and MY benefits some kind of charity or handout!!
A
Congressional benefits, e.g. free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that’s welfare, and those DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American THIEVES have the nerve to call YOUR and MY retirement money an “entitlement”!!!!!! A
SHAME ON THEM!!!
XXX
SHAME ON THEM!!!
XXX
SHAME ON THEM!!!

A
The Curse of Eliseus be upon ALL THE DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American POLITICIANS and their supporters!!!

A
The Daily Bulletin newspaper ran two articles on the front page side by side:

1. California’s 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit.
2. The California Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits. Why don’t they just deport them when they arrive to register?
3. Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to California Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care. At just one hospital the cost to taxpayers totaled over $25 million a year!!!

Someone please tell me what’s wrong with all the CRIMINALS and TRAITORS who run this country!!!!
A
We’re supposedly “broke” and so we can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless Americans, etc., but we can sure help everyone else!!!
A
In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Turkey, and Pakistan, which was the home of bin Laden in the amount of BILLIONS of U.S. DOLLARS!!!
A
Our retired seniors living on a “fixed income” receive no aid, nor do they get any breaks, while our government and infiltrated religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of U.S. Dollars, and tons of food to Foreign Countries!

The U.S. Congress and the U.S. President, followed by the “lamestream” news media, now have the unmitigated audacity and Demonic gall to call Social Security and Medicare - “entitlements” - even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives!
A
So now, when its time for American Seniors to collect their Social Security money which, by law, was deducted from their wages, and matched by their employers, suddenly the U.S. Government, which bailed out the banks under

THE DEMONIC AND SATANIC NEW WORLD ORDER OF ANTI-CHRIST, anti-American President Skull and Bones, Bush, Jr.,
A
which brought about the disastrous DEMONIC AND SATANIC NEW WORLD ORDER OF ANTI-CHRIST, anti-American President Skull and Bones, Bush, Jr. Depression,

on top of which, thanks to THE DEMONIC AND SATANIC NEW WORLD ORDER ANTI-CHRIST, anti-American REPUBLICAN TEA PARTY TRAITORS in the U.S. Congress,
A
AMERICANS ARE NOW VICTIMIZED BY
A
THE DEMONIC AND SATANIC NEW WORLD ORDER ANTI-CHRIST, anti-American TEA PARTY TRAITORS' Depression!!!

NO CASH AND NO GOLD???!!!

So NOW the U.S. no longer has any money????!!!

Money $$$$$$$$$$$$ was no problem for the DEMONIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER Republican incited Wars Against Iraq and Pakistan.

No Republican President in recent memory ever balanced even one budget!

DEMONIC and SATANIC

Why did the U.S. Government STEAL the Social Security money in the first place?

A
AMERICA: America is now a downtrodden country where joblessness is an epidemic, millions of Americans have lost their homes, hunger is rampant especially among poor Americans and victimized Senior Citizens!
A
America of 2011 is a country where homeless Americans have neither shelter nor the basics to maintain life.
A
How many millions and millions of American children go to bed hungry every night?
A
How many millions and millions of Americans can not find a job here in America which has been economically, financially, and otherwise RAPED BY
A
THE DEMONIC and SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER, anti-American billionaires and multi-millionaires?!
A
Millions and millions of elderly Americans are going without “needed” food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and other necessities of life!
A
Remember it was THE NEW WORLD ORDER REPUBLICAN President Ronald Reagan who threw the mentally ill into the streets to fend for themselves!
A
THE NEW WORLD ORDER REPUBLICAN Reagan also let corporations gouge Average Americans with their insatiable greed, seen most especially today at the gas pumps as the oil companies make billions of dollars in record profits as they STEAL from Americans!

NEW WORLD ORDER REPUBLICAN Reagan began his own Ponzi scheme called "Trickle Down Economics" devised by Lucifer!
A
YET.......................
A
There are “Benefits” for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors, and medical supplies. Imagine if the “GOVERNMENT” gave we U.S. legal American citizens the same support they give to other countries?!
A
SAD?
