Read your social security statement from 2009.

Well, that's just the thing. Many of the funds are already promising not to pay out on time, and many others are subject to legislative action. For example, the highway trust fund - pretty much only pays out when congress wants it to.

However, the problem with a lot of the comments that I see here is that they're bullshit. There's nothing wrong with racism so long as it doesn't unfairly deny someone the opportunity to try and succeed, or to possess a personal and quiet dignity. There are few things more wrong with racism than bel...

It is when the creditor sets the terms of maturity. You will eventually see Federal funds extending maturity of balances from the public debt.

Let me ask you a question, do you even believe that a majority of people are racist, bigoted, and prejudiced enough that they wouldn't hire someone just because they are from a racial minority? The Irish were once discriminated heavily against in this country, but they managed to make it without Aff...

Every single penny due to the trust fund will be paid. The US government does not default on its debts. Rather, they will just inflate the money supply so the true value of the debts are lowered. There is no creditor flexibility. There is monetary flexibility. Sure there is creditor flexibility, wh...

Well sure, on that basis, Bush managed to piss off liberals. SUCCESS.

The only thing you can't do is link any statistics to affirmative action. You can't make the case for cause and effect. Race is far more subject to affirmative action by the Federal government than gender. Yet the meteoric rise of the American female far outpaced any performance by race. 60% of new ...

Simple. They already are. The public is prepped with the belief that social security is insolvent and the Federal government is even bold enough to state that 30% of promised payments won't be made.

That's the flexibility I'm talking about.

Of course, one should remember that State and Local debt are not included in the national public debt - but don't discount it as it affects our country in other ways.

Bullshit, everything sacrifices safety measures. Just ask the socialist workers of old at Chernobyl.

One thing to note about American public debt is that, unlike the public debt of most other nations, a huge chunk of our debt, somewhere around 40% is owed to the Federal government. It's a very slight buffer against our liquidity, so we do have some minor things working in our favor (in terms of hav...

I would propose that the gulf states be given a cut of future revenues from off-shore drilling as a punitive measure.

It's no wonder people are up in arms about the Federal government and the Obama administration not doing enough. They're the only ones getting a cut of the profits.

a large minority of people think abortion is murder and inherently wrong. Because they can't get the consensus to outright call abortion murder, they're taking every step they can in order to make abortions harder to get. At least they are using the legislative process - trying to influence elected...

Would be interested to see what some of the doctors who occasionally post here think. I am guessing that I am missing some expenses entirely. The estimates for the expenses I did list were extremely conservative despite Teflor trying to poke holes in them. But I might be missing one or two large th...

Not sure what the compliance issues are. My father has run a medical office for years. Just one doctor (himself) and a receptionist. Somehow HIPPA compliance hasn't put him out of business, and it is a very modest operation. I don't see how it could be very costly for another small operation where ...

So, a legal compliance office with machines and technicians? Damn Corth, I can't believe you would even want to think about it. By the way, ultrasound machines for prenatal use start at $15k and work their way up to $150k. But for the simple legal compliance, I guess you could pick up refurbished us...

Then I would not hesitate to point out that your numbers are low. Especially for the rent, the malpractice, and the wages + benefits. Furthermore, you'll need additional staff to cover for vacations and sick leave. Medical records will require that you hire additional personnel, and since you're a o...

These arguments are completely moot. The issue stopped at government violence forcing unnecessary medical procedures upon patients.

Edit: put back to original post.

By solid policy, I meant the veto. Not the legislation.

This is solid policy, however, vetoes don't last.

Because there should be nothing controversial or political about a high school science teacher, tenure should be struck down as a false instrument of security - because it only protect the teacher - not the public and the children that they are supposed to serve as a public entity.

That's entirely correct. Nobody forces you to patronize any particular corporation. There are very few monopolies out there, and most of them are utilities that are highly regulated. On the other hand, if you work in certain fields you are forced to join the union or otherwise financially support i...

The destruction of its own currency essentially kills the black market, something that communist societies cannot live with.
