I doubt I don't understand how it works.

I didn't trust social security to give me a full retirement when I first heard of it and ran some simple numbers. As such, I've invested so I can get by without it if needed.... I suspect we may have to do the same with the health care ponzi scheme...

I wrote another article for Seeking Alpha that is not up yet but Govt. spending in Oct went up much faster than receipts... Funny how we actually had a surplus the month before the election along with under 8% unemployment but that is for another black helicopters discussion.

I believe we could DOUBLE what everyone pays for taxes last month and we'd NOT break even....

Lets see if my Word doc will cut and paste

Year	2012	2011	Change	Change
	$B	$B	$B	%
October Receipts	184.316	163.072	21.244	13.0%
October Outlays	304.311	261.539	42.772	16.4%
October Surplus (Deficit)	-119.995	-98.466	-21.529	21.9%

I think total INCOME taxes collected was just over 100B... amazing....
