In the same link: Get the satire now????? Actually, I laughed my a$$ off. Next thing you know, people are going to start posting stuff from the onion and claim it's real.
Abortion Needed to Spare People from Lives of Bad Cuisine
(D-Wisc). As Ms Moore sees it, a timely abortion saves many from lives that are sustained by bad cuisine.
“If all your parents can afford to feed you is Ramen noodles and mayonnaise sandwiches you’re better off dead,” contended the plump congresswoman. “I mean, if I couldn’t get my regular dose of pizzas, cheese burgers, and ice cream I’d kill myself. By getting an abortion a woman saves her child from having to face a harrowing choice between a grim life of bad-tasting food and blowing one’s head off.”
So they have no problem cutting SS but won't touch welfare ?
That one speaks volumes about who is important in the US.
Interesting isn't it. Only the taxpayers are brutalized by this administration. There is no expectation that the welfare crowd do any belt tightening at all.
It actually doesn't surprise me that many people at C-D are so focused on hatred/ignorance to take a joke and convince themselves it's real.
I know Poe's Law states "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of any crackpot or extremist belief that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."...but this not only states it pretty obviously, but a good number of people have pointed it out. Yet people still believe it no matter how many people mock the hell out of them for doing so.

It's satire, for God's sake, read the damned Link!!!
I am starting to believe that the government and states should get out of the retirement business. I have the perfect solution. Raise everyone's salary about 20-30%. Then starting with people under 45, they will no longer pay into social security or state pension plans if they are government employees, and use that salary increase to save for their future retirement in a safe retirement plan, and after working for 20-30-or 40 years since they will probably have to work til they are 70, the person has saved a nice nest egg without being dependent on the government to take care of them which we have seen isn't working. Social security will be bankrupt if the government doesn't do anything about it, and that means more borrowing or higher taxes to pay for it.
The states can't balance their budgets because they are forced to pay their retired government workers pension, that is guaranteed until the people die. So the state employees who will have a 20-30% pay raise, can start saving 10% instead of the average 8% for retirement. The state matches it in a 401k plan, and what ever that person has saved, then at retirement that's what he or she lives off of for the rest of their lives. It's just a thought, and probably won't ever happen.
What they ought to do is just cut a check to everyone for what they paid into social security and be done with it.
Social Security payments were never invested, never saved for the payers. The government used them for whatever it chose and now the money isn't there.

First, this was satire. We all had a good laugh and the people here caught on in under an hour which was pretty good IMO.
About SS, after two years it's basically welfare. There was never THAT MUCH money put in by people.
SS was only ever meant to be a supplement, never was it to be a full retirement.

I never thought about that. If you are right about the government doing whatever it wants with social security tax payer's money, then we really need to over haul it. Government isn't in the business to invest money, or so they say, but then again the states invest their state employees' pension money all of the time.
The old are a lost cause. The young mind is less stubborn and open to radical utopian ideas.
That's funny given that the young pay the taxes to fund social security and medicare.
