Flaws??? What flaws??? Didn't you get the memo about me being perfect???Originally Posted by d-ninja

It probably does. But I think that if someone doesn't do something, it will only get worse. So it may be flawed, but far less than the current system.
Believe me I know it's about politics and not about well being of the people. Absolutely agree with you there.You have to understand Politicians have to get the votes, and to fix that you'd have to fix our legal system. Such as instead of having a President campaigning for 3 of their 4 year 1st terms, having them get shit done. But thats another topic.
The current system has had "time". They've had decades worth of time. The only time left is for real change. Change that makes sense. Not political strategy change.I don't suggest continuing the present course, I'd say it needs fixing, but that only takes time. And from your point of view its time we don't have.
Let me ask you: What's going to happen when SS goes bankrupt? What then? Will the gov't simply let us keep our money? Will still keep taking it? This is why changes need to happen now rather than later because there may not be a program later. I sincerely doubt that bankruptcy will automatically mean the seize and decist of collections. If it did, then I would say let it go bankrupt.
I'b be curious to see what young people in college would think about this.Well I'm too lazy to get deep into this arguement, I just wanted o'boy to know that not all of IA sided with Jaime or you on this. (nothing personal, honest), And that I enjoyed reading this debate. I'm honestly considering printing sections of this out (minus the bullshit) and taking it to my Current Issues class and discussing it with them.
Fact of the matter is, the bill isn't gonna pass. Period. And anyone who doubts me can put $$$ down on the table (but not alot, cuz i'm poor). I'll put $30 on the table saying the bill will not pass.
Hmmm, I'm tempted to take that bet......
