Any shortfall problems with Social Security are easy enough to fix.

Sure, just raise the SS tax about 5% and lift the cap.
The problem is finding a politician who would actually do it.


Or, raise the cap. The problem is that you keep cashing your check.
You're not required to cash it.


Why should I, you are good for the money. You seem to enjoy paying for
my new boat.


Huh? You're the ****ing hypocrit. "Why should I?" for the good of your
grandkids asshole. You want everyone else to do the "right thing" but
not you.



Lifting the cap alone is not really that much help. All you really
have to do top see that is look at the delta between Medicare and SS.
Medicare is not capped now.


Bull****.


How would you compare it?


They're two completely different programs and need different fixes.

It is actually quite simple SS is capped and Medicare isn't. You have
no problem seeing how much is raised and interpolate what happens when
the cap is lifted on SS.


Apples to oranges. But feel free to look stupid in public.


It has been a couple years since I did it but the numbers are not
really that significant. We just do not have that many W2 people who
make more than the $113.7k that it is capped at now. (I think it was
$102k when I did it)
You can go to IRS.GOV and look at tax stats if you want to see for
yourself. They are in Excel format so you can download the files and
change the view


Feel free to give us your studied, indepth analysis. We know you're an
expert accountant among your other bull****.


I do know how to crunch numbers, it is actually pretty simple to do
this one. Maybe beyond your ability but not that hard.
Maybe when you get to high school you will learn a little elementary
algebra.


Maybe you should try harder to insult me ****head.. you're the ****ing
expert, but you can't even figure out that SS and MC are two
completely different things.

You can call SS a Ponzi, but that's just your and your right wing
****head's view. It's a promise.. made by some of the people in this
country to other people in this country.

That is what Bernie said

You're disputing it's a promise made to seniors and unfortunates
who've lost parents? That's what Stalin said. (yeah, I'm kidding)

It is a promise but it is an unfunded promise. The Trust Fund is just
a line item on the national debt.


And, how exactly would you prefer it to be funded? Perhaps in gold
bullion? Or, in a 100% risk free account... like perhaps one
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US? Oh yeah, you're
full of it.


That is the main flaw in the plan. There is no real way for the
government to save money since they don't back currency with any hard
asset.


They back it with the faith and credit of a country that has never
defaulted on it's debt...NEVER by statute.

Money is simply whatever the fed says it is. If they "save" money it
is the same as reducing the money supply.


Feel free to hoard gold. I'm sure there's a supermarket somewhere
that'll take it.

SS should have always been, what it was for 73 years, pay as you go
but that would have required raising the retirement age and increasing
the FICA tax.


It's still pay as you go. 100% for the next 25 years and beyond that
forever at close to 100%.

Reagan and Clinton both did things along those lines but nobody has
tried it since.


Reagan did ****.
http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/deficits.html

They should have adjusted the tax rate to reflect actual costs, as the
system was originally designed.
Unfortunately in 1939-40 it became apparent they were accumulating a
big pot of unspent money and so they started spending it, putting an
IOU in the box.


You're such an expert. You should run from something... like your
paranoia.

My kids may get most of my SS money when I die.


How's that? The country will be completely bankrupt by then. You've
been talking about for a while now. Doom is in the air, and it's all
your fault.

As usual you totally miss the point.


The point on the top of your head? Didn't miss it at tall.


HI is not capped and raises $182 billion collection 2.9 percent of all
wages, tips.etc
If you uncapped OASDI (presently capped at $106k) you would raise an
extra $140 billion over the $637B we collected in 2010 on a 12.4% tax.
I am not going to use 11 or 12 because the 2% tax holiday skews the
numbers.
That seems like a lot of money but it would barely cover the shortfall
in SS/MC now. That deficit goes up every year.


"While the combined OASDI program continues to fail the long-range
test of close actuarial balance, it does satisfy the test for
short-range financial adequacy. The Trustees project that the combined
trust fund assets will exceed one year’s projected cost for more than
ten years, through 2027. "

If you are going to "fix" SS./MC you need more than simply uncapping
the top limit.


I thought you said MC is uncapped? So, you don't know ****.



It has been a couple years since I did it but the numbers are not
really that significant. We just do not have that many W2 people who
make more than the $113.7k that it is capped at now. (I think it was

I know they are different brands of the same basic Ponzi but it does
give you a convenient way to see what happens when you remove the
OASDI cap. HI is not capped and OASDI is, taxing the same salary base.
If you interpolate the result of the OASDI rate to the HI rate you get
the delta.


No. You know how to fake being an intellectual, well-read, and a fair
minded person. What you are is a fraud, but I wouldn't call it a Ponzi
fraud.

You can go to tax stats, look at the raw data and do the computations
based on the percentages but you will still end up with about the
same numbers.


Uh huh. Sure. Bascially, you're pulling the numbers out your ass and
smearing it on your **** to make them look better.

We are still young
How is Stockton, San Bernadino and Compton doing?


So, now you're claiming that cities never fail and never go bankrupt.
You're claiming that stockton is somehow representative of the entire
US?


Money is simply whatever the fed says it is. If they "save" money it

If the **** hits the fan, gold and silver might be all they do take.
In the mean time, the bag of silver coins I have has turned a nice
profit.


Ah yes, the "**** hits the fan" line. Like "when the crunch comes" or
when the blacks start the racial war or when Manson does or someone.

That's pretty close to the most looney thing you've said, well, since
you told me you want to **** over my family I guess.

SS should have always been, what it was for 73 years, pay as you go
but that would have required raising the retirement age and increasing

Not at all, SS is $85 billion in the hole as we speak, being bailed
out by federal revenue, 40% of which is borrowed.


So what? I thought you said it was bankrupt? Oh yeah, you're just full
of ****.


Reagan and Clinton both did things along those lines but nobody has

Reagan did ****.
http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/deficits.html

Again you are not addressing the issue


Yes I am. You're just changing the subject. Sure is easy, but it's
totally transparent.


The 1983 tax bill Reagan signed raised the tax rate on wages for SS
from 10.7% to 12.2% and it was in the bill that it would rise to the
current 12.4% in 1990. That bill also allowed the IRS to tax SS
benefits, originally up to 50% was subject to the income tax. It also
accelerated the increase in the salary cap and raised the full
retirement age.

That is a lot more than "not ****"

The 1993 tax bill that Clinton signed (passed by a tie breaking vote
from Gore) raised the taxable amount of SS benefits to 85%,
It uncapped the top salary for medicare taxes

The 1994 law imposed FICA taxes on all domestic help with a threshold
of $1000 a year.

Maybe you should learn how to use Thomas if you want to play the game.


What's your point? You quoted Thomas but you don't provide any
reference point. What point are you trying to make? that we should go
back to the gold standard? Jesuss christ you sound like you need to
take a lude.

They should have adjusted the tax rate to reflect actual costs, as the
system was originally designed.
Unfortunately in 1939-40 it became apparent they were accumulating a
big pot of unspent money and so they started spending it, putting an
IOU in the box.
