Sitting here giggling.... That's a Hee Haw moment for sure!
The comedy team of Ooms and the Moderator will be playing this weekend at Zanies. It is a tremendous family show. bbd
Forget facebook!
Professor Laurence Kotlikoff:
Social Security has also played a central role in the massive, six-decade Ponzi scheme known as US fiscal policy, which transfers ever-larger sums from the young to the old.
In so doing, Uncle Sam has assured successive young contributors that they would have their turn, in retirement, to get back much more than they put in. But all chain letters end, and the US’s is now collapsing.
The letter’s last purchasers – today’s and tomorrow’s youngsters – face enormous increases in taxes and cuts in benefits. This fiscal child abuse, which will turn the American dream into a nightmare, is best summarized by the $202 trillion fiscal gap discussed in my last column.
The gap is the present value difference between future federal spending and revenue. Closing this gap via taxes requires doubling every tax we pay, starting now. Such a policy would hurt younger people much more than older ones because wages constitute most of the tax base.
All that you speak of will eventually lead to a euthanasia movement in the future. The kids who aren't going to get theirs will want to off grandpa for money instead of mercy which is what euthanasia should be about. We show more mercy to cats and dogs than we do to people.
Especially when it's someone elses grandpa.
