70 years ago today / today

[defcon4]

On April 12th, 1945, at circa 1 PM, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D) died. And the nation mourned. He was our longest-serving president.

Today, April 12th, 2015, Hillary Rodham Clinton (D) is announcing her candidacy for the 2016 presidential election.

Coincidence? Planning?

Discuss.

All I can say is that Republicans need to shut the fuck up about Hillary. They need to focus on their plan for the country's future until one of the many will secure the nomination. If they start harping on Hillary's questionable actions now, it is going to be "old news" by the general elections and will not have the desirable impact.

 

[defcon4]

Hillary won't make it to the Iowa Caucus. Martin O'Malley will do her in.

I hope it takes place behind closed doors!

Death date, Hillary begins candidacy...Hillary Clinton campaign is dead on arrival...got it.


I'm pretty sure some folks were way ahead of the curve on this one.

Politico senior staff writer Glenn Thrush opined on Twitter that the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign was “collapsing completely” before it started, and that she “shouldn’t even bother to enter the race.”

Well, if Glenn Thrush thinks so, it must be true!

I concur with you. On this point, I think you are right on target.

Oh, that was nasty.

As bad as I think FDR was the bar has sure dropped with Hillary trying to take his old job. I can't believe she even has an opportunity to run. The worst of the worst and that's the best the left has.

FDR is still an idol in the eyes of the "let's-do-good-on-other-people's-money-leftists." The New Deal wasn't such a good deal if we look at it today. It's mutation into a new class of dependency may have been an unintended consequence. How is the saying, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions?"

You mean like what? Social Security?

Read the post before you show your stupidity. We pay into Social Security and get some of our money back. If the ruling political elite wouldn't spend the funds for some other shit we would be all right with it.

You're an idiot. The Social Security funds are invested in order to draw interest and grow in value.

What would you do with them?

OMG! Who told you that? … never mind… it was a rhetorical question. You people are dumb yesmen. Believing every shit they tell you and then spewing it back out as your own thoughts.
Starting WWII they dipped into it for the first time to support war spending. Since then it has been spent on every kind of shit resulting in the struggle to keep it afloat.
You are surely projecting your own idiocy.

Then go argue with the SSA, fucktard:

By law, income to the trust funds must be invested, on a daily basis, in securities guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the Federal government. All securities held by the trust funds are "special issues" of the United States Treasury. Such securities are available only to the trust funds.

In the past, the trust funds have held marketable Treasury securities, which are available to the general public. Unlike marketable securities, special issues can be redeemed at any time at face value. Marketable securities are subject to the forces of the open market and may suffer a loss, or enjoy a gain, if sold before maturity. Investment in special issues gives the trust funds the same flexibility as holding cash.

"The answer is that the federal government has borrowed all of that trust fund money and spent it, exactly as Krauthammer asserted. And the only way the trust fund can get some cash to pay Social Security benefits is if the federal government draws it from general revenues or borrows the money—which, of course, it can’t do because of the debt ceiling."

You proved it agin. I guess you wanted to make sure everybody knows what a fucking idiot you are shattering every doubt that one may have had.

Do you not understand that anyone who buys bonds is loaning money to someone to be spent? Are you that retarded?

You didn't tell me what SSA should be doing with the revenue that comes in and is held in the Trust Fund.

Eh??

To mourn for FDR, one of our very greatest and most revered Presidents?

I dunno... 70 years past the death date means that most who knew him or of him are long gone.

What do you think?

The discussion is, äääh, interesting.

What did you expect? Many are in church or on the beach or little league or whatever.
But NYC is hanging tough fiercely fighting for the "who can make himself the stupidest trophy"

SSA is not buying bonds it has no money to buy anything. What comes in that goes out. What we buy that goes to general fund.

You didn't tell me what SSA should be doing with the revenue that comes in and is held in the Trust Fund.

Eh??

What fucking trust fund? Read the article. There is no money in the trust fund.

Lest you be awarded 5 katyushas...you asked a question...coincidence or planning. My answer was neither...Hillary's announcement is simply another opportunity to mourn.

I recall being in the yard with my brothers...preparing to head for the baseball field, when my grandmother came to the door with the news...we had a great game that day.
