Out of everything you said, that was the only thing that made any sense.

Is that you, Skip or Kimberly?

Call our Social Security system what you want, Kimberly. It’s unsustainable either way.

Without endless ‘tweaking’ at higher-and-higher cost for less-and-less benefit, it won’t be helping anybody. On the other hand, people have been successfully relying on sustainable market-based solutions for the past 30 years — without the disadvantages that plague Social Security. The return on investment for a private retirement account is at least 3-6 times the return on investment for Social Security.

Again, the question is, why do liberals continue to insist we invest in our retirement at a loss? Sadly, I believe the answer lies in the giant government slush fund Social Security has become.

Social Security is currently estimated to keep roughly 40 percent of all Americans age 65 or older out of poverty.

But go ahead… by all means, go ahead. I’m backing the horses that don’t see it your way but instead are cool-headed, reasonable and in keeping with the American mainstream.

Do they have ‘little’ or ‘nothing’ in common? Just admit it — the comparisons are fair — they are basically the same thing.

Call it what you want. It’s unsustainable either way.

KIMBERLY: “There is nothing sinister or fraudelent about social security, and many millions of Americans have relied on their earned benefits during retirement.”

And, there’s nothing legitimate about a social program that cannot exist without continuously more taxes for continuously less benefit. Liberals acting like an inherently broken system can be fixed permanently with some ‘minor tweaks’ is where the fraud comes in. That’s just par for the course for liberals, though.

There is nothing sinister or fraudelent about social security, and many millions of Americans have relied on their earned benefits during retirement.

The government doesn’t make their Ponzi scheme any more sustainable by admitting that it works just like any other Ponzi scheme and is just as unsustainable. Not to mention, Social Security is actually worse than a Ponzi scheme because we are all forced to contribute to it.

KIMBERLY: “It also hasn’t been a failure.”

If you consider less-and-less present-day workers paying for more-and-more present-day retirees and a system schedule to collapse without fundamental reform a success, you are living in denial. We need to move to proven-sustainable market-based retirement plans — that provide much better returns for the American people’s money — rather than the government’s unsustainable Ponzi schemes that bleed the people of yet more of their precious money.
