Social Security: Lift cap on taxable earnings

I've never understood a cap on SS earnings. It makes zero logical sense.

The cap is a nice little extra if one hits it. That said it needs to be removed.

In case you can't read the first comic:

Who said we can't work together! Now whose turn is it to kick this can down the road? Just kidding... Let's do it at the same time.

I am not sure what provision it refers to but I hear a logical statement that we should not be paying for Warren Buffet's prescriptions.

The Silent Entitlements Monster: Social Security, Medicare And Interest On The Debt Will Gobble Up Every Single Tax Dollar By 2020

Great graphic depiction of our fiscal situation. It should be posted on the wall of every Civics and Economics classroom.

When they shut down the school due to lack of funding who is going to see it anyway?

I think once the government starts to admit they have a problem it won't be a hard sell that we need to do something. What we do will probably be a fight but it is time to start.

Its like being mad at your wife for spending to much and then refusing to pay the bills she already incured after YOU gave her the credit card and told her to go spend money.



it will distroy your family credit and put you further in debt

No it's not. It's like taking the credit card away and cutting it up so you can concentrate on paying the bills you incurred. Quit listening to Obama's childish "logic". He isn't going to respect you in the morning.

I would say that to not raise the debt ceiling is unrealistic and that I expect that the debt will have a curve over the top a little higher than it is now but in this budget cycle we can lay a ten year plan that will put us on solid footing and I think that is all one can hope for.

I am watching another C-SPAN video. Apparently there is a drinking game that goes along with this.

I am going to kick off slides that I find especially informative and give the time where they're found in the video. Hope someone/anyone finds this helpful.

Nice. A post by some guy by the name of Micheal in a nut case site that concentrates on survival-ism and right wing ideas. Let me get an article out of moveon.org, and we will be even. And have learned NOTHING.
Try a non partisan source with some standing. Then it may be interesting.
