We must remember that any money spent by any government is taken from someone in taxes or fees to be given to someone else. If it is borrowed it is taken from our children and grandchildren.

So now we learn Obamacare will add 8 million to the uninsured ranks. I thought it was supposed to solve the uninsured problem. Trust me...If you couldn't afford insurance then, you won't be able to afford it now..But, you will pay a penalty, aka tax to the government.

And the REST of the rest of the story about Ida May Fuller the first SS recipient: "She retired in 1939, having paid just three years of payroll taxes. She received monthly Social Security checks until her death in 1975 at age 100. By the time of her death, Fuller had collected $22,888.92 from Social Security monthly benefits, compared to her contributions of $24.75 to the system." (Notice she only had paid in less than in a dollar a month.) That's why your money went to your parents and grandparents; it really is a Ponzi scheme.

If my 40+ years of putting into Social Security is gone by the time I retire, I will bring charges to the government for theft by taking. I had no choice and now you tell me it is gone?

Yes. Critical thinking is a lost art and it will be even more so soon. Republicans in Texas want all critical thinking courses removed from public school curriculum "so children don't question the teachings of their parents." Literally. That is their reason. What happens in TX school books happens across the U.S. We must stop the GOP's war on original thought!

You do realize it is impossible to be a student today without internet access. And, try finding a job without applying online. Are you suggesting the poor in this country should have to fail in school and remain unemployed because they couldn't afford internet?
