Countries destroyed by multinational corporations, international banksters and stockholders/investors greed.
The system needs to be rebuild from the bottom down, and those responsible executed.
I seriously doubt you even know what social security is. The only people who get SS are the ones who have paid into it their entire lives. They are simply getting their investment back from the government. I'm glad I could educate you.

You'll get your ssi check, and you'll get your social security checks. Dont worry about that, just worry if the banks can cash'em lmao. And let us real working Americans get back to making you guys some money. Keep everything going for us, dont let the internet get boring. Keep those water parks and lake-sides full.

Maybe you should go back to school and learn how to spell.

wait so we have thousands of bases around the world, are at constant war and are sending Israel somethjing like 20 billion dollars but this disgusting vile evil satanic piece of garbage (Obama) has the GALL to tell US that our family, our fathers, mothers grandfathers etc will not get their social security checks because of some bi-partisan b.s. politics on the debt ceiling? How about this Mr. "President", you send our troops home immediately and stop paying Israel OUR hard earned money and the "coffers" will be quite full for many years to come to pay to OUR own hard working american peoples' social security funds.
What disgusting filth! These satanic monsters will burn in hell for ETERNITY!
So i started to do some digging and found out that we, United States Citizens, have been lied to. There is no Social Security "Lock Box" there is no separate account. Social Security is lumped into the whole US Treasury General Fund! Shocking! We been lied to by our Government! who would have thought!
The Social Security Trust Fund was created in 1939
Starting in 1969 (due to action by the Johnson Administration in 1968) the transactions to the Trust Fund were included in what is known as the "unified budget." This means that every function of the federal government is included in a single budget. This is sometimes described by saying that the Social Security Trust Funds are "on-budget." This budget treatment of the Social Security Trust Fund continued until 1990 when the Trust Funds were again taken "off-budget." This means only that they are shown as a separate account in the federal budget. But whether the Trust Funds are "on-budget" or "off-budget" is primarily a question of accounting practices--it has no affect on the actual operations of the Trust Fund itself.

Congress has full control over funding of various government programs. I don't see what Obama has to do with funding sources and limitations. If you look at any diagram they show middle school students with regard to government checks and balances, you'll see that Congress has full control of the money. The president can write executive orders up the ying-yang - they won't go anywhere if Congress pulls the funding. I thought the republicans controlled the house and all spending related legislation must begin in the house. So, once again, I ask what does Obama have to do with this?
FYI - I say let the debt ceiling be overwhelmed. Our country's credit rating deserves to be in the garbage can because we keep printing money out of nowhere that is not backed by anything. If we abolished the Federal Reserve the US would not owe a non-existent 1.5 trillion to the entity. The US Treasury should be responsible for printing money - not a private banking cartel.edit on 15-7-2011 by andrewh7 because: (no reason given)
