Yep folks, as good as some things sound, there is STILL no free lunch. Can't wait for that High Speed Rail to Hawaii!!! Well, back to the Salt Mines.


Im a believer in capitalism, but there are some cases where socialism works. Are you collecting Social Security Ray? Well there ya have it.


In actuality, I dont think that it is working. The govts unfunded liabilities are so high that if anything ever undoes the governments ability to sell IOUs (borrow). there will not be any real money there to pay for anything. In my life, I have never seen anything having to do with finances that looked real real wrong, yet did not have a day of reckoning. The national debt looks real real wrong.

I return you to the prior broadcast. Something about song publishing.



in reality social security is a ponzi scheme. But I dont know anybody, socialist or capitalist, Republican or Democrat, who doesnt like getting a payment when they retire.

And its not a payment they saved for themselves. Its a goverment dispursement. Very much socialism.

Most people if they didnt HAVE to pay social security wouldnt save it and wouldnt have it.

So it is a case where socialism works. Whether its fair or not is another story


Nothing works about SS. They rob money from people and pay a tiny portion of what they stole back to people who have to pay at the end of a gun (literally) if you do not pay your taxes. So getting a portion of your own money back, minus all the interest it would have earned during your life is a massive rip off and people who conveniently die before getting back what they paid in (nearly everyone who worked) just lose that money to a typical socialist nightmare. There are plenty of programs for people to invest that money in which would pay them WAY more for their forced payments with interest and a balance to be paid to survivors. Socialism is a heinous waste of people's money taken by the end of a gun. Had the government not stolen and wasted the money illegally (both parties, they are all crooks) the compounded interest alone would like have kept our debt at bey and certainly would have funded the "program" since it pays out pennies on the dollar overall from a lifetime of theft.
