    The thought of retirement makes me cry. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you weren't to blame for.it's especially difficult for people who are retired.

      True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

      Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

    It really bugs me when these guys talk about social security and medicare as if they were government benefits. None of us who are receiving these "benefits" see them as welfare. In fact hardly any of us will get back the money we paid into those programs while we were working. They were taxes when we were working and now they are being taxed again and treated as a government dole while the government fails to account for what they took or where that money went that they took from us under penalty of criminal prosecution. We didn't choose those plans; they were imposed upon us.

      I am with you as far as people will draw more in SS and Medicare benefits than they and their employers ever put in as far as a flat payment. I’m not good at figuring out what your investment would accrue over the years in terms of interest so I can’t argue that point.
      If everyone would just go to the SSA website you can actually see how much was collected over their years of employment how much was taken out of their paycheck and how much their employer contributed to Medicare and SS.
      I don’t know if it is right to call it a Ponzi scheme however. What justifies having a government program that provides benefits to individuals is that there will always be people in the workforce who contribute to the plan. This would continue until there are no longer enough people working and supporting the plan or life ends as we know it. It appears that we are going to have to deal with the first one…

What you put in the bank isn't yours anymore, either; it is a loan to the bank, which can be forgiven/erased by the NCUA (for credit unions) or Federal Reserve (for banks,) and you lose everything without compensation, because you are an unsecured creditor. It's called a "bail-in;" go ask your bank. I did. The FDIC just had a meeting on it.

If it’s in the Constitution spend money on it, if not don’t spend money on it. At that point we’d probably have 60% spending cuts.

      It's a dumb rule Congress put in place years ago. Dumb because we already borrowed the money, the ceiling just stops us from paying the loans back. In other words, the debt ceiling is fiscally irresponsible. Bad news for all of us if the government defaults on its debts.

      @@JS-ki5yq Help me to understand something, you seem to be saying the capitalist system lies at root of the problem, that unless you put a cap on how much people own you will end up with a larger government. So how do you regulate wealth and impose the caps you recommend? Sounds like you need a large, intrusive, apparatus to pull that off which is exactly what you get with a socialist system. Or will people just naturally give back what they have earned (or stolen for that matter) and say, you're right, we need to share the wealth in order to shrink the size of government, my bad?
      It sounds like you are railing against crony capitalism, which I agree is a problem, but to pin it all on capitalism is a false assertion. Plenty of people enriched themselves in the socialist paradises they were claiming to be working on while the average person starved or was imprisoned for asking uncomfortable questions about how the whole thing was supposed to work. Is our government broken? You bet it is. Is it broken because of the capitalist system? There, I respectfully disagree. There are plenty of billionaires drinking from the government trough, but that game is as old as humanity itself. You know who would get rich off a system that imposed caps? The cappers.

    Why don't we start with our politicians. They should get paid hourly and cut the amounts they receive when they are out of office.
    The Social Security I receive now I paid in, and it was mandatory I might add. It is not a government benefit or handout.
    Lobbying should be stopped. The politicians are supposed to be representing the people not businesses that reward the politicians that see things and vote the way of the business. I'm sure lots of expenses for the people would be less without lobbyists.
    I've always said the honest and best politicians don't stay because they don't want to play the questionable games that have to be played to stay in office.

    An issue I have with government spending is, there are no incentives to save money. Most of the time if a program or agency doesn't spend their allocated budget they are not allowed to roll any savings over to the next fiscal cycle which leads them to waste the money with frivolous spending. In other words government agencies are encouraged to waste money.

The way that this Government operates is doomed too make everybody poor with only a few rich people. And eventually it will fail all together and the World will pick pver the carcass of a once great nation. Unless the Government changes drastically the way it operates. Like spending within its means like a financeally responcible adult.
