michael:The Economy needs TWO forces to propel it forward: A Monetary Stimulus to be provided by Al, aka " Greenie ". A Fiscal Stimulus with two subparts a)Tax reduction , and b)Fiscal & Spending Restraint Stimulus , to be provided by Bush and Congress. If the above is done, this Economy will go through the roof. Where are we going to find workers in a tight work environment? You have to make it easier for seniors to work. CUT THEIR taxes far MORE than for Juniors. The seniors on the other hand have to understand that they have to contribute to their demand for perks and that this is not The America that their grandfather Otto Von Bismarck worldwar1.com envisioned it the 19thCentury in Germany when he invented The Pension system. At that time there was no $30,000/year dialysis plus $20,000/year coronary bypass, plus $10,000/year eye-lens replacement, plus $15,000/year hip replacement, plus $30,000/year at full time care in Nursing Home/year after year. . . . ----------------------------------------------------------- ssa.gov " One persistent myth about the German program is that it adopted age 65 as the standard retirement age because that was Bismarck's age. This myth is important because Germany was one of the models America looked to in designing its own Social Security plan; and the myth is that America adopted age 65 as the age for retirement benefits because this was the age adopted by Germany when they created their program. In fact, Germany initially set age 70 as the retirement age (and Bismarck himself was 74 at the time) and it was not until 27 years later (in 1916) that the age was lowered to 65. By that time, Bismarck had been dead for 18 years." . . . -------------------------------------------------------- Bottom Line: Bismarck set Social Security retirement at age 70 with NO dialysis,bypass,joint and eye replacement and artificial life support. Our Social Engineers, namely Roosevelt Johnson Carter Clinton 50 years of Democratic led Congress did their Hocus Pocus ", and PRONTO!! now we HAVE retirement at 65, PLUS all the bells and whistles(respirator,dialysis,joint replacement and by pass ) PLUS, minor detail, a lifeblood draining 8 trillion dollar debt to pay for our shopping spree. Plan is to send THAT BILL to the unborn. Which is OK.The Unborn can be aborted, they have a virtual existence only, just like playing video games.One moment they are here, next moment.....puff!!!!...they are gone, just like Pac Man............ :-) TA
