Social Security
The average american has paid 12% of his salary, lifetime, into a retirement fund that holds no assets. Take that money and invest it, you have 3 to 4 times the amount you otherwise get from Uncle Sugar. A sucker is born every minute I guess.

2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
I can't disagree. I also can't understand 20 year old stupidity. The NFL don't play like that. He is a top draft based on physical attributes. He can be top ten only if he is a feature WR next year in a great passing offense and cleans up his reputation. But tigers don't change their stripes. I lean towards fuck that guy. Sometimes the Aggy stain doesn't wear off.

Here is a simple proposition. Call it Retirement Choice. You can give your money to a bankrupt government, or take the same money and put it in your own account and invest it. What do you think most people would do? Now consider most people, once the budget is balanced, will be getting back far less in nominal dollars than they paid (especially minorities). Social Security only continues because it is mandatory. The supposed "public support" disappears if there is any element of freedom to choose.

Because minorities die at a younger age. Blacks collect on average until 72 years, while Asian Americans collect until 84. But once they cut benefits, then you are getting back far less than you put in, especially if you are black or brown. Which destroys the entire legitimacy of the program. By the way, if you can just "cut benefits" at will, then obviously the idea of a "lock box" is ludicrous. We have a unified budget.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/wall-street-braces-for-roughly-1-5-trillion-in-further-borrowing-needs-by-treasury-c54401f9 We are borrowing almost 50% of every dollar spend and we are at peak economic growth. Social Security is eating itself and public support will evaporate once people realize they have been defrauded once again. Your scenario is not far off.

Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44
It is going to be a ROUGH three years for them. Elko CANNOT recruit. Imagine knowing you fired Jimbo, only to get someone who is objectively worse, and pay tens more millions for the privilege. He's driving away any talent they might have had. You can't compete in the SEC without talent, and they aren't going to have it. It's like moving in with your girlfriend, signing a lease, and realizing later that day you have to break up with her.

They have a game in 9 days, with Christmas in the middle. I am guessing they've decided to go with whomever they already have, ain't no way to get new people in for all that. It's gonna be like when we had 6 total offensive linemen, that didn't go so well.- Israel

Islam does not accept secular government. And the Koran is not Islamophobic. It is clear, for example, that the penalty for homosexuality is death. women are treated like slaves in Islam. Muslims are taught to hate jews and christians. These ideas are not compatible with democracy.- 2023 Drunk Thread
