Look Ron I have forgotten more Economics than you will ever know. <<The simple answer is that they really can't pay back $200 billion per year without distorting the market and making the dollar even more attractive versus the Euro/Yen..>> How so? Why do you keep repeating this with out telling me why you believe it? It's just the opposite......I'll explain it to you.... Here is how it works we buy back bonds causing the price of bonds to rise thus the pay out which is constant means that the rate declines......Ya with ne so far Ron ?....Now with lower rates comparable to their own foreigners don't want our bonds and sell'em for dollars they bring the dollars home and convert'em into whatever. When more dollars are sold the value goes down not up...This is freshman stuff Ron if you can't understand it you shouldn't be in this argument. I still don't see and you have made no attempt to tell me what this has to do with whether or not we are really paying down the debt. BTW My only complaint about putting SS into the markets is that when it crashes and crash it will the lot of you will come crying to the government to bail'em out.....And the taxpayers will again be the suckers.....Get'em to sign a pledge not to accept a government bailout and they can throw their SS down a rathole for all I care.

Did Gore Steal the Popular Vote? Paul Weyrich Nov. 9, 2000 Media stories that Al Gore "won" the popular vote must be viewed with skepticism. Reports are coming in from all over the country of voting "irregularities" and outright fraud. In Milwaukee, Democrat organizers paid for homeless votes by with cigarettes. In Florida, there are allegations that immigrants, awaiting naturalization, were allowed to vote even though they are not yet naturalized citizens. The so-called confusing ballots in Palm Beach were approved by a Democrat election official, and samples were widely distributed before Election Day. In California, the state Democratic Party is accused of mailing "voter identification cards" to legal aliens ineligible to vote. This is reminiscent of the Gore's 1996 abuse of the INS to pad the voting rolls. In St. Louis, a circuit judge, reported to be a Gephardt protégé, extended the polling hours well beyond closing time. A federal court overturned this order, but MSNBC reported that voting was going on past midnight. "Computer glitches" have necessitated recount of more than 60,000 votes in New Mexico, throwing into doubt the results of the presidential race there and a key congressional race. These examples and others pouring in from all over the country raise serious concerns about Gore's claim to the popular vote and underline the need for immediate investigations to restore the integrity of the electoral process. It could well be that, taken as a whole, the margin that Vice President Gore now claims could, in fact, be reversed should these and other claims of fraud prove to be of merit. newsmax.com
