You know NOTHING but sound bytes from HuffingtonDailycurse.

icecream, "What actually happened is that the Social Security surplus was invested in treasury bonds. What does that mean? It means that workers gave money to the federal government, which turned around and spent it. In return, the Social Security trust fund received bonds that represented promises to repay the money later out of the federal government's income tax receipts. In effect, it gave workers a claim on the income tax receipts of the government at a later date in time. When that time came, the federal government would have to pay up, which would make it less profitable. If the government was already running a deficit, it would make the deficit even worse."

mikeyd, this socialist mess America is in started with FDR, but the recent recession we're in started with Clinton. When you put the pedal to the metal on your car, and let it wind up well over the redline, and the engine eventually fails, the problem didn’t start when the engine began to fail.

Creamed: "Gas prices are set by global economy by supply and demand GLOBALLY!!!"

Natural gas in the USA: about $2.10 per million CF.

Japan: $12-18 per MCF.

Germany: about $12 per MCF.

Explain the GLOBAL MARKET to us again ???____________________>

Don't play your stupid childish games Icecream, you aren't bright enough to pull it off.

The measure of defense spending is to compare it as a percentage of of the Budget, not absolute numbers.

In the Peace time of the '50s and 60's it ran about 15-18% of budget.

WWII it saw 50% of the budget.

After Vietnam, it was back to about 16-20% of budget.

It still is but NOBAMA wants to cut it.

Meantime Total Government Spending was a percentage of GDP is 25%, a RECORD for peacetime. It was only 20% under George W.

Which is WHY there is a CLIFF that we ran over, crashed, and BURNED.

Not the Defense Budget that is the problem.

There is so much TRICKLE DOWN from Defense Spending it is going to be SCARY to see the real effects.

nice thought ice cream...and so with this thinking that the increase in the amount taken from pay checks across the country is not a tax increas, but an adjustment going back to where it was before, will it also be said when gas prices go back up, it is not a price increase but an adjustment to get back to where it was before?

The poor economic record under obama has decrease the demand for gasoline, thus lower prices. But, obama is solely responsible for this:

"Obamacare Medical Device Tax: As of Jan.1, Obamacare imposes a new tax of 2.3 percent on medical device manufacturers, including those who make dental braces. The tax is imposed on gross sales -- even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. While the tax will be paid to the IRS by the manufacturer, the tax will be passed along as a higher cost of the product, ultimately to be borne by the parent buying the braces for their child. With the cost of braces being as high as $7,625 this new tax could raise the cost of these braces by $175."

In other news:

"CHARLESTON (AP) - Many West Virginians will be paying more for health care this year under rate increases the state Health Care Authority has approved for 15 hospitals.

The increases affect people with private insurance and those who pay out of their own pocket. They range from as low as 1.24 percent at Bluefield Regional Medical Center to as high as 8.7 percent at Fairmont General Hospital.

Ohio Valley Medical Center's 5.09-percent increase was the only change in costs approved for the Northern Panhandle."

oh yea of little faith...great..gas prices aree not going to skyrocket this year, unless of course they do..our govt. has refigured the way they figure the rate of inflation..if it was figured the way it was in the late 1970s with the real cost of living including food and fuel, we would be between 6 to 10 % ...but we now have almost no inflation...by the next presidents election if we have one the inflation genie will be out in full view for all the public to see..the lies will be show for what they are and many peoples lives will be in the gutter with their lifes savings being worthless...yes, history is repeating itself right before our eyes...but fe see it

budman, And your tax increase!

Wraith, interesting that so many people just thought those "evil" rich people where getting taxed...Maybe by the end of the month (or when people get paid) we will all feel like "rich" people!

I took a 4% hit, 1099 plus my wife's 2% hit = 6% reduction in take-home pay! Best part is it has already been spent on write-offs and soon to be given to NY and NJ for pie-in-the-sky billion dollar projects!
