What Obamanomics Gets Right

Chris, maybe your Social Security Trust Fund is a boondoggle, that is, a thing you don't understand. Not so mine

Who needs social security...I'll secure my own future. When will libs learn to quit relying on gov't for everything in life? Social Security was a mistake by a democrat/socialist president.

Who is Daniel David?

"And, of course, James wants to cut "entitlement spending" first. Social Secutiry is owed $2,000,000,000,000.00 borrowed from its Trust Fund to pay for wars and income/estate tax cuts."

Daniel David, the trust fund, or lack thereof, was always a boondoggle. There never was a trust fund. The trust fund is called "the full faith and credit of the United States." If you want this trust fund to continue, you have to address long term issues elsewhere, such as taxes and spending.

"James expects it will never be paid back and expects you to be so stupid as to agree with him for the robbery from YOUR national pension plan."

Another boondoggle, for reasons already stated.

There is no such thing as Obamanomics. James is lying to you, again, and as usual.

And, of course, James wants to cut "entitlement spending" first. Social Secutiry is owed $2,000,000,000,000.00 borrowed from its Trust Fund to pay for wars and income/estate tax cuts.

James expects it will never be paid back and expects you to be so stupid as to agree with him for the robbery from YOUR national pension plan.

Why USNWR does not cut this pompous liar loose is a mystery.
