That's obviously what the administration is hoping for but Perry's red
meat barf headism will certainly rally most teabaggers.

Obama may need to do the economic populist equivalent of the bin Laden
raid to rally independents.

Does he have to have Florida?
Will Marco Rubio deliver Florida in the general election?
.....
But, do elected officials reflect the sentiment of the voters?
If the voters feel that it's just a question of "us" vs "them"
and no one is willing to sacrifice anything that is "mine"
to stabilize the economy, then it seems they want partisan
politics and gridlock...to keep from giving up their benefits.

Then it may depend on who can get out the vote best...
which depends on what?....how much money they spend?

What is the best solution for economic recovery?
Is it possible to see beyond immediate special interests
and look toward the long-term results?
How long can we survive if we don't?

He can keep it up his sleeve right up until early October 2012.

For one thing the media will want to cover it as much as the WSJ

The Neocons have jumped into bed with the liberal Lamestream Media
in their fear and hatred of Ron Paul, because he's the only honest
man in Washington, DC. They're flogging Gunslinger Perry, Wicked Witch
Bachmann, and Obamney in hopes that such a nomination will throw the
election to their Glorious Beloved Infallible Commissar, much like
McCain's selection of the National Dits as his running mate threw
2008 to the Hussein.

This is why it's vitally important for us all to throw our support
behind Ron Paul, the one man who has had the right answers for thirty
years.

Are we ready to grow up and listen, rather than just swallowing and
parroting the statist line?

Isn't there anybody left in America who still loves the Constitution?

It will be the year for independents. And not tea party either. They're
not independent. They're just a fringe republican group

Eveything every group and politician has done so far has this last decade

nothing Perry can do will pull any political ass out of the fire

Deal Only Postpones More Series Economic Warfare
By Danny Schechter, Media Channel.org
10 April 11


the Capitol Hill battlefield is still for the moment as the Easter holidays
approach and the combatants get a break from the heated polemics and
overnight bargaining sessions. In a last minute deal, milked by both sides
for maximum drama and political advantage, the government will not shut
down - at least not now - even as its budget has taken a major whack.

Each side can posture to supporters as a victor. The President, who managed
the process from the shadows, posed for photos in the White House after his
great compromise of 2011 was announced.

It was a media moment to be relished, as media columnist Howard Kurtz
explained in the Daily Beast, "The White House escaped most of the blame.
Once the spotlight shifted from the political gamesmanship to the human
impact of a shutdown - soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan not getting checks,
passport offices closed, national parks off limits - everyone knew an angry
public would start pointing fingers. But blame-shifting is a high art in
Washington; now both sides can argue about who brought the country back from
the brink."

it won't survive if they don't. the ss taxes are used only to a very
minimal extent to run ss and pay benefits. The rest of it is rediverted to
pay the debt and operate the government. You gut ss you gut the us.

If SS is a ponzi scheme, then there are a few other things that are super
Ponzi schemes.
All government taxation and the false promises that come with it.

And you know what is a sooper dooper Ponzi scheme?

Political candidate contributions.

And Rick Ponzi Perry's is the biggest scam there is

Remember when he bragged about not being able to be bought for a mere 5k
last week in rebuttal to Bachmann?

Billions of contributions is what he said he gets.
Total Ponzi scheme

Well the people who created it didn't create it as an insurance
scheme
and the Supreme Court has specifically said that it's not.

> I guess you believe
> it is right and proper to "gut" the abused.?Social Security

There is nothing to gut, but if I could gut it yes I would. Social
Security
has been a regressive (i.e. good for the rich bad for the poor) scheme
from
it's inception and it's been openly known to be regressive for at
least 30 years.

> was not designed to be a bank to make loans that Congress cannot afford to

No it was designed to transfer money from the young poor to the rich
old.

If that was really it's designed function why didn't they just
fund pensions from general revenue? No instead they forced everyone
to buy a mythical financial product that many didn't want, need or
afford.

The difference is that these aren't premiums, they're taxes and the
authorities have specifically said so.

Looks like everyone agrees with the great majority of American
voters: It's time to hike taxes on the rich to pay for any shortfalls
in SS funding.

I get the feeling Perry is being pushed into being a candidate. Its
like he really doesn't want it. Anyway, Perry never said he wanted to
run for the presidency before any of the other candidates did.

Ok, so then you're in favor of abandoning the idea of funding your
moronic
welfare system through a regressive, anti-employment tax. Great. Any
particular reason why you weren't in favor of that decades ago?
No I'm not in favor of looting the rich to privilege people who want
free money.
I am in favor of greater economic egalitarianism as long as it's
achieved through
reducing the amount of unearned government money going to the rich
rather than
increasing the amount of earned private money coming from the rich.

http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2011/09/06/two_different_worlds/page/full/
Thomas Sowell Two Different Worlds
ideological clashes over particular laws, policies and programs often go far
deeper. Those with opposing views of what is desirable for the future also
tend to differ equally sharply as to what the reality of the present is. In
other words, they envision two very different worlds.

A small but revealing example was a recent New York Times criticism of
former Apple CEO Steve Jobs for not contributing to charity as much as the
New York Times writer thought he should. The media in general are full of
praise for business people and their companies for giving away substantial
amounts of their wealth. Indeed, that is one of the few things for which
many in the media praise businesses and the wealthy.

Americans in general -- whether rich, poor or in between -- have one of the
most remarkable records for donating not only money but time to all sorts of
charitable endeavors. Privately financed hospitals, colleges and innumerable
other institutions abound in the United States, while they are rare to
non-existent in many other countries, where such things are usually left to
government or to religious organizations.

actually it can. The SS costs are only the tiniest percentage of the taxes
they take in. The secret that no one seems to talk about is that the
majority of the SS taxes go into the general fund to buy bonds to finance
any number of other government needs. If you got rid of SS you would stop a
really large stream of income to the general government probably second only
to what China buys from us in debt. You stop ss you stop the entire
government.

If the government had reinvested those funds over the last 30 years and
dedicated them to ss rather than other programs ss would be more than flush
today.
If they stopped rediverting ss funds today they'd be flush.

Yes ss can keep its promise and can do it even better if people understood
what really happens with their ss taxes

and unfortunately not much can bring it back. sure we can sue for fraud.
The sad thing about judgments against these bad guys will end up costing tax
payers a lot of money to pursue and guess who has their money in banks.
Little guys. So you force the banks to pay big fines and penalties for
this. They lose profits. What will they do? Soak the little guy by
dropping the interest rates on their little now less than 1 percent return
on their savings accounts.

What they should do is fine the banks who are proven to have defrauded pay
all the account holders the fines back into their accounts, because if it
was not for the banks heinous misrepresentations and failures to enforce
underwriting standards we would not be in this mess and interest rates would
not have been unnaturally suppressed to this extent.

Federal Housing Finance Agency Suing Top Banks Over Mortgage-Backed
Securities

The Federal Housing Finance Agency filed suit today against 17 of the
world's largest financial firms, seeking to recover losses suffered by
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on private-label mortgage-backed securities.

The suits, filed in New York federal or state court or federal court in
Connecticut, target firms including Bank of America Corp., Citigroup, Inc.,
Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Merrill Lynch &
Co. and Morgan Stanley, as well as their officers and lead underwriters.

The federal housing agency serves as conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, and is is charged with preserving the companies' assets on behalf of
taxpayers.

Represented by lawyers from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and Kasowitz,
Benson, Torres & Friedman, the agency is seeking damages and civil penalties
under the Securities Act of 1933, as well compensatory damages for negligent
misrepresentation. Some of the complaints also allege state securities law
violations or common law fraud.

"The complaints filed today reflect FHFA's conclusion that some portion of
the losses that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac incurred on private-label
mortgage-backed securities (PLS) are attributable to misrepresentations and
other improper actions by the firms and individuals named in these filings,"
according to the agency's press release, issued late Friday afternoon.

In the complaint against Bank of America, for example, the agency alleges
that "Between September 30, 2005 and November 5, 2007, Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac purchased over $6 billion in residential mortgage-backed
securities...Significant percentages of the underlying mortgage loans were
not originated in accordance with the represented underwriting standards and
origination practices and had materially poorer credit quality than what was
represented in the Registration Statements."

Conservatives join liberals in opposing payroll tax cut
By Russell Berman

President Obama's push to extend a payroll tax cut has united a rare
combination of conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats in opposition.

When Obama first pushed to include the proposal in a tax package in
December, House liberals said the tax holiday would threaten the Social
Security trust fund, which is maintained through the payroll levy. Now that
he wants to extend and deepen the tax cut, a number of House Republicans are
making the same argument.

Their grandchildren are already screwed. In 2036, only 25 years from
now, the present system will:

1. only be able to pay 75% of scheduled benefits, and

2. there will be only 2 workers supporting each retiree.

In addition to those two facts, those two workers will be working to pay
off the interest on the national debt that has been created by their
retiree.

Those two workers will have little left over for themselves.

LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Social Security expenditures exceeded the program’s non-interest
income in 2010 for the first time since 1983. The $49 billion deficit
last year (excluding interest income) and $46 billion projected
deficit in 2011 are in large part due to the weakened economy and to
downward income adjustments that correct for excess payroll tax
revenue credited to the trust funds in earlier years. This deficit is
expected to shrink to about $20 billion for years 2012-2014 as the
economy strengthens. After 2014, cash deficits are expected to grow
rapidly as the number of beneficiaries continues to grow at a
substantially faster rate than the number of covered workers.

Sorry, Sid, but you are wrong. I have espoused SS reform since before
Clinton stated:

"In 1960, there were 5.1 Americans working for every one person drawing
Social Security. In 1997, there's still 3.3 people working for every one
person drawing Social Security. In 2030, the year after the Social
Security trust fund supposedly will go broke unless we change something,
at present projected retirement rates -- that is, the presently
projected retirement age and same rates -- there will be two people
working for every one person drawing Social Security."

I agree that we are the wealthiest nation in the world. However, that

mismanaged by congress (both parties), is broken and is in trouble.


The fact that congress is considering FORCING upper income people into
buying insurance that they neither want nor need is proof that the
system is broken.

Your concept of saving Social Security by forcing people to buy unwanted
insurance is akin to solving the GM (Government Motors) problem by
passing a law that requires people making over $106,800 to buy a GM car.

"In fact, in 1995, two years after that tax hike, the budget baseline
submitted by the president's own Office of Management and Budget and
the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicted $200 billion
deficits for as far as the eye could see."

"It was Bill Clinton who, during the big budget fight in 1995, had to
submit not one, not two, but five budgets until he begrudgingly
matched the GOP's balanced-budget plan. In fact, during the height of
the budget wars in the summer of 1995, the Clinton administration
admitted that "balancing the budget is not one of our top priorities."
"The figure shows that the actual cumulative budget deficit from 1994
to 1998 was almost $600 billion below the Clintonomics baseline. Part
of the explanation for the balanced budget is that Republicans in
Congress had the common sense to reject the most reckless features of
Clintonomics. Just this year, Bill Clinton's budget proposed more than
$100 billion in new social spending -- proposals that were mostly
tossed overboard."

Not what I was posing for the answer. I was asking what is actually in
the constitution. I'm looking at you point as a done deal that America
is supposed to follow the constitution, those that don't are traitors to
America and deserve to be executed as traitors.

The time has come to force government to follow the constitution or be
convicted as criminals and traitors and then executed.
