LOL. Sigh. Well, the GOP accuses Obama of setting those up.

Honestly, though. Do you really believe that any system that let's participants pay in $10, but receive $100 in return is something that is sustainable, especially when the later generations are smaller in size than the current retiring generation? It is simply mathematically impossible. I find it hilarious that the folks in this country are living in such a fantasy land that now they are even trying to defy the laws of mathematics. It's like having a debate about evolution with Creationists who believe the earth is 10,000 years old, despite me pointing out the dinosaur bones we've found that are much older than that.

This is why I don't like to debate subjects where people cling to their beliefs with the fervor of religion. It's not really a rational debate. This country is becoming anti-science and now anti-mathematics. We're all becoming a bunch of luddites. No wonder we're in deep shit.
