" Do you've never heard of anyone selling stock (investment capital) to meet current expenses?" And we've done some of that. And you think everyone else should pay your bills. Put your wife to work. Get a 2nd job. Cut your expenses. The world doesn't owe you a living. If you want to blame someone for being here, go see your parents. In any case, quit whining and act like a MAN. Problem is we have to look down the road too...Bush is bankrupting the nation, Not hardly. Compare deficit and debt to GDP. And do it over several decades. To use your facorite excuse, go get the numbers yourself. I don't need the practice. I KNOW how to find them. and rubbing his hands together thinking he can put Social Security in the coffin by just making sure there is no way the nation can meet it's obligation to seniors Oh shut up. That problem was here LONG before GWB and you know it. A little research on the web will show you references to it back in the '90s and before. You could see this coming a long time ago: baby boom meets baby bust. all the while laughing to the bank with his own Carlyle and Haliburton millions...and used our Social Security to fund his war games. So Bush did 911? Is this your story? Go see Duray. He likes that one. Check the header too. "No conspiracy theories". The reason we're trying to invest for the future even more earnestly now is that the republicans are going to rob our retirement from us You should do it anyway, stupid, regardless of what the gov't does. All the way until you retire. just watch them try. They'll call it medicare reform Medicare NEEDS reform, stupid. It's what's breaking the bank. And YOUR solution is to make the problem even worse by making Medicare bigger. as Wall Street licks it's chops on getting the commissions of private investments whether those investments turn out good or bad for the investor is largely a function of luck for most of the uninformed public Blaming our bad decisions on other people still, are we? most of which have no business investing in stocks on their own DUH! Yeah. Let a mutual fund company rob you instead. If you aren't willing to do the work to be in the market, stay out. and shady brokers all they care about is sales and commissions. DUH! Most of us have known this for years. Where habe you been? Social Security is a safety net...it's not supposed to pay for world cruises in retirement. I thought you told me it was broke. How can it pay for world cruises? Hey, if it's doing THAT, then the solution is cut payout by 80%. No more problem. "Grow up and take the blame for your own stupidity. It's the only way you avoid screwing up in the same way again." I'll take the blame for my actions...no problem. Sure you will. You have shown no sign of that yet. I am a man. Right. Then the rest of us are Martians. Will Bush take the blame for screwing up the war on terror and getting us involved in a quagmire in Iraq? Losing more jobs than any president in 70 years? Write him and ask him. Bleeding our country of manufacturing jobs? You could see this coming more than 15 years ago, stupe. When communications satellites made communications cheap and the Web hit, it was staring you in the face. I was wondering what took so long. Vietnam dodging You talking about the Purple Heart Hunter? silver spooning twerp Must be. Fits Kerry to a tee. Boston Brahmin family, married half a billion. Go bother someone else.
