<quoted text>You should get back what you paid in plus interest including Medicare. Medicare is worth about $3,000 a month to you, so it's worth about $36,000 a year to you, if you get $2,500 a month from SS, you get $30,000 a year from that, so that's $63,000 a year you would get in cash and in full health care from Medicare. So in 5 years the government will give you $315,000 in cash and full old age health care. So after about 5 years you need to get off of Medicare and SS. So for the next 25 years you are on it, the money has to be borrowed from China to give it to you. Now, what about every woman who paid in zero who gets SS and Medicare? Where does the money come from to give to them for 30 years? How about the person who paid in half or one-third what you paid in? Who pays them SS and Medicare for 30 years? What about the millions who paid in for 20 years and then went on SS disability, who got out all they paid in already and now are on SS disability and Medicare from 45-80?? Who pays for all of this??
what about all the compound interest I have earned since I started paying, in 1965?

<quoted text>Pamela, I disagree with you on Facebook being considered a good investment I think ti's way over priced and their is a real danger of Facebook and other start up Tech compnaies creating a new buble.
Please watch this interesting video done by Alex Charfen on his projection for Facebook and the possibility of creating a new bubble.
I wouldn't count on young children being granted access to Facebook either.

I think they are wrong about it. I don't think he is stupid. Watch what he does. Look at the people in the stock market. They don't know what they are doing. A European country that is going under borrows more money and the market here goes up for half a day and then goes back down, all over something as meaningless as Greece got more money from Europe's central bank. It's idiotic. They don't know everything. People have lost a lot of money being in the stock market.

Look at Peter Schiff. He has billions of other people's money invested in Europe cause he thought the U.S. was going to go under and he thought Europe was solid. He said in Crash Proof 2.0 that the Euro would be the new world's reserve currency. He's heavily invested in Europe and China with no exit strategy. He thought that the U.S. was going to go under and that China and Europe would decouple from us, not be affected by us. None of them know what they are talking about. YOu can speculate same as they can.

For example, I heard this one guy, Demetri Orloff on Max Keiser's show say that the gas companies sell the natural gas at below cost so they can con the government into setting up a natural gas infrastructure. So I would buy natural gas and see if the prices go way up. But, again, it's all speculation. T. Boone Pickens said the other day that the Koch Brothers refuse to let the government create a natural gas infrastructure cause they use a lot of natural gas so they do not want the price to go up.

The way you have to play the stock market is look at every news item every day and try to see which rich person is running what and who they own, etc. It's not easy. But I think FaceBook is going to go up. It's anybody's guess.

Same with peak oil, depends on shale extraction. If we ARE at peak oil, then oil is a super good investment. It's all speculative, all based on day to day news stories.

It's like when you see Sheldon Adelson give Romney money, okay, you know he is Jewish right? So he wants the U.S. to protect Israel, so he is giving first Newt and then Romney millions so they will have a war with Iran. So if Romney gets elected and Hannity starts selling a war with Iran, buy stocks in Halibuton and in all of the war corporations cause a war in Iran will cost us maybe 3 trillion and all of those government contracts go to the war corporations which raises their stock values way up. A Repub gets in, invest in wars, especially when you see Adelson paying romney. The billionaires run this country, all we can do is try to profit off of the moves they make.

I guess the best way to invest in natural gas would be to WAIT until the congress passes a bill to build a natural gas infrastructure. that would signal that the price will go up fourfold.

Okay. So we will say since you are a big earner, you paid in more than most people, okay you get SS and Medicare for 5 more years to get back the interest. Okay, so you get SS and Medicare for ten years, then you can go off of it for the rest of your life. Then you can take out a reverse mortgage and live on your savings. Ooops, Americans have NO savings.

See, and they tell people that natural gas is going to be so cheap. People never figure it out that the oil and gas companies lie and lie. Hell, they are who we have the wars for. They are WHY we have all of this debt. Get the oil in Iraq, get the oil in Iran for Exxon and for BP. NEWSFLASH: Everything the oil and gas companies tell you is a lie, it's all promotion, it's all BS. the second they can get the politicians to run up $800 billion of debt on a natural gas infrastructure, everyone will start paying four times what they pay now for natural gas. Ooops, they lied, ooops they were not making a profit. Oops, they kept the price down to get the taxpayers to fund an $800 billion dollar gas infrastructure. Next, off to Iran for Exxon to take over the oil in Iran. Oops, U.S. taxpayers will be on the hook for another 2 trillion for another war in the Middle East. Yahoo!!!!!! Just buy their stocks and roll with it.

If Obama stays in office, invest in a company that takes EBT cards, invest in Medicaid companies, invest in Section 8 housing.

If Romney gets in, invest heavily in war corporations and in oil companies. You can always count on the Dems to give out more welfare and you can always count on the Repubs to pay and pay the war corporations and the oil companies.

Apparently America is a dictatorship and The Congress and Senate are things that we dreamed up so it seems like we are a democracy. Obama is the Dictator of the world because apparently when something in the world goes wrong it's Obama's fault.

<quoted text>You could care less about anyone who really needs help, you could care less about someone in their 50s dying of cancer. All you post is abuse to me, so don't give you bullsh!t about you care about one thing other than you, you, you having money and your old family members living off of the goverment so you don't have to help them. You don't give one crap about one thing other than greed of money. You could care less who dies young. You want to depend on a government that cuts indigent programs to pay rich state retirees 6-20K a month, that wants to tax people who make $7,500 a year to pay other people huge state pensions, you think you can count on SS when the politicians are drafting proposals so that if you get any other income retired, they will cut you off of SS and Medicaree, they are making plans to give people vouchers and make them buy their own health insurance, and Paul Ryan wants to means test the vouchers. If I do have other income, soon enough the government would SS and Medicare on me. When you see those programs are in 120 trillion dollars of debt, this is why they now begin to cut and cut those programs. That's why no more even tiny $20 a year cost of living increases, the government can't afford it. You think I want to be dependent on a government health care plan that Obama took $500 billion out of to fund a new health care plan?? You really think you can count on any of that stuff ten years from now?? These things won't exist ten years from now. Neither will those big government pensions. The government promised the baby boomers big huge monies that fit in the middle of the last century when people died at 62. These programs are NOT funded for 2012 when everyone lives to be 90. They are not paid for.
I already live through tons of things being cut and eliminated. One day people could go to community colleges, the next day 300,000 young people were rejected from community colleges due to cuts, one day millions in CA had dental care, the next day the program is gone. The price of food doubled but no raise to SS because they do not put food nor gas into the Consumer Price Index, they do this on purpose because if they had to increase the SS payments on 60 million people, they would have to borrow money from China to do it. I would like to have some type of stable medical care and some type of stable income that is not going to end, go away, be means tested, cut, turned into a voucher, where the government doesn't run off doctors with low payments and with Obamacare. Like Ralph Ried said, they should end the double payments to men and give the double payments to indigent seniors. You don't give one crap about anything other than you abusing strangers. You are the typical American, you got yours, screw everyone else, and then you make it up that the two richest people in the U.S. are an example of the 300 million idiots in this country who have NOTHING who want to live off of the government, who have NO education, who do NOTHING for any charity. You're an evil pile of crap. GET OUT OF HERE. Stop pretending to be human. You're not
If you have any tranquilizers in the medicine cabinet, now might be a good time for you to push away from the computer, grab a glass of water, and go take one. You don't want to have a stroke while you're so busy solving all the nation's problems, do you?

BTW, while you're busy fixing government and entitlements, why don't you take a minute or two to see if you can't figure out how to get yourself out of that hood where you're so unhappy and away from all those fat lazy people who surround you?

Also, FaceBook is actually a good investment. People think it's overpriced, I think Zuckerberg is smart and as soon as he did his IPO he made it so that kids can all go on FaceBook and he bought that photo company and he just got Apple to put the FaceBook app on their stuff. If he gets billions of new customers from letting kids go on FaceBook, the stocks will go up. What I wouldn't do is invest in Europe or China, contrary to what Peter Schiff says. He's have-a-clue.
Why are you promoting a company hell bent on supporting Socialism and the selling of people's freedom of ananomity to the federal government?

People had better hang onto whatever money they have coming in and stop their spending addictions and they need to invest in real estate and in gold and silver and in commodities, and also, they need to move their money off of the dollar before the dollar crashes. This idea old folks will rake in all of these government pensions is not realistic.
My neighbor here could have saved her pension money and owned a home outright by now and should her pension be cut, she could have taken out a reverse mortgage. Instead, she spent every cent she gets on QVC buying stuff and they giving it away to people. Now, CA IS cutting state pensions, and her car was just stolen so for the first time in years now she has a car payment while her pension will be cut and she has zero savings and zero equity in a home. People had better wake up because government monies are not going to be going to people much longer. They had better save what they have. I think the old people think this country is still rich and it's 1970 and that they can get all of this government money. It's nothing like that now. Bush and Obama took the U.S. into massive debts and took the U.S. down and no one can fix that anymore than the European countries can fix their debt problems.
Her California State pension has been cut? You said she "could have saved her pension money" so that means she's a current retiree?

Which state agency cut pension benefits for those already retired? I'm unaware of it happening.

Pammy is on a roll today. I get a big bang out of her rants. John Winkor who has the website the Daily Churmudgeon stated there are no female churmudgeons. Ithink pammy is a chrumudgeonette or female Churmudgeon. She does highlite a lot of off the wall things. I think differently about some things also. Once I was driving a semi down the road and a big dog was standing in the road. I didnt honk the horn ,slow down or swerve. I nailed that sucker. My co driver was agast. He said you hit that dog on purpose! I replied shure. then I explained I might have saved someones life that would have swerved and wrecked trying to avoid it. and if we ran over all the dogs in the road pretty soon we wouldnt be breeding dogs so stupid as to be in the road. Also if the owner finds poor dead Fido in the road maybe they will become responsible pet owners and fence their place so Fido II wont be in the road. Kinda makes sense in a not poltically correct manner.

Well, I get your point, but I'm a dog lover, so I've developed a technique along the lines of how to control a skid. I practiced on ice coated parking lots when I was about fourteen until I had the hang of it. Of course, I don't drive a semi, so I get your problem with that approach. My dog's invisible fence battery is down, but he doesn't know it yet. I'm glad he's stupid. I really really like him a lot.
