ummm I kinda remember you saying that as well Nodrama..in fact it was in one of threads like...What proof do you have that conservative or liberalism works...

And guess what if we shrunk the federal government, and brought our troops home, and quit investing money in the infrastructure of 3rd world countries, then we could afford everyones medical costs.

Argentina defaulted as well didn't they? They've recovered fine...

But I think with treasury bonds considered one of the safest investments in the world and the USD's status as the worlds primary reserve currency makes us a different story.

Stalin is buried and rotted now. Lenin is still at room temperature.



easy mistake to make. Stalin was embalmed and placed in the same mausoleum with Lenin, but Kruschev led the Anti-Stalin movement and had him buried.

eh, well they may have lost their spot at the top but it's not as if their world crumbled down either:

Well you give us some shitty choices a bunch of commies and a centrist banker puppet, I wouldn't choose any of them but I picked Che because he is a revolutionary but mostly cause he'd kick the other ones asses. Funny Poll - Thumbs UP!

it makes very good sense and should have been done here long ago.

the reason the politician fucks dont want it is, no money changes through govt hands. you manage the whole thing and nobody to skim off the top.

At one time, local governments could opt. Congress closed that 'loophole' a while back, but a due to grandfathering there are few lucky people out.

I may be wrong, but I hear congress does not pay social security as well.
One of many reasons we should look at a goose and gander amendment.

since fog found the obama vs. paul poll not to his liking, i thought i might put one up that has options aimed more at his sort of philosophy. it's a very limited time offer, so get your choices in now.
