Neither will social security, not anymore. You will probably get back less than what you paid in over your working lifetime. At least if I have the choice to invest those monies myself I have a chance to maybe close that gap. So based on your statement how in the world do people ever retire? There are less and less defined pensions plans out there.

What is the point then, Dante? You really believe SS will be there in anything resembling it's current form when you grow old enough to received it's "benefits"? Why can't you take all the FICA money, stolen from your pocket throughout your lifetime, and invest it yourself as you see fit?

Federal judge rules that public schools have a right to hide children's gender identity from parents: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-state-hates-families/ Do you get it now? Do you? We have here a federal judge -- an Obama appointee -- ruling that the State has the right to deceive parents about whether or not their children are choosing to live as the opposite sex.

An economic turmoil partially created by Social Security. BTW I and my family have done pretty well economically over the past 20 years. I have zero complaints. How about you?

For you Irish fans too bad the South Street Smokehouse closes at 3pm on Fridays.

?!?!?!? What kind of aberration is this?

I never understood the reasoning behind point spreads. Is it to "spice up" sports betting?

The vast majority have less than kind words to say about Mr. Daniel's tenure.

Best idea -eliminate social security altogether.
