<p><strong> I'd be surprised if anyone could defend this piece of crap of a deal that was foisted upon us the other night. </strong></p>

<p><strong> First of all I didn't care at all about the phony cliff.</strong></p>
<p><strong> I don't think anyone with a brain could have bought into that hype. </strong></p>

<p><strong> The only good thing was to dump that ridiculous payroll tax reduction. </strong></p>
<p><strong> Seriously if no 1 is going to adjust Social Security then we're going to have to pay for it, probably more very soon. </strong></p>

<p><strong> I'd have been happy to let the Defense Department scramble to see what they could get by with.</strong></p>
<p><strong> I don't think any agency will make reasonable adjustments or cuts to their wasteful spending until they are forced to.</strong></p>

<p><strong> This really is a disaster waiting to happen.</strong></p>

There's the debt ceiling looming quickly on the calendar.</p>

<p>And Obamao is demanding that he be given the power to raise said debt ceiling at his whim.</p>

<p>Projected federal deficit at the end of ObaMao's term? about twenty TRILLION...or more.</p>

<p>Big, serious trouble.</p>

<p>And this comes from the same Obamao president asswipe that bitterly crticized BUSH's DEBT....</p>

<p>as "Unpatriotic"...</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the PRAVDA news jobbie is telling Americans to NOT GIVE UP THEIR GUNS.</p>

<p>And they say why.</p>

<p>Really big trouble.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/320765</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/320765</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[calfoxwc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jan 2013 04:44:58 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The Fiscal Curb on Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:52:13 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I'm still waiting for someone to actually explain this thing to me.

<p> Security (FICA) Program. He promised: </p>

<p> 1) That participation in the Program would be </p>
<p> completely voluntary, </p>
<p>  <em><strong>No longer Voluntary </strong></em><img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f620.png?v=00a0b17bbb1" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--angry" title=":angry:" alt="😠" /></p>
<p>2) That the participants would only have to pay </p>
<p> 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual </p>
<p> incomes into the Program, </p>

<p> <strong><em>Now 7.65% </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> On the first $90,000. </em></strong><img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f620.png?v=00a0b17bbb1" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--angry" title=":angry:" alt="😠" /></p>

<p>3) That the money the participants elected to put </p>
<p> into the Program would be deductible from </p>
<p> their income for tax purposes each year, </p>

<p> <em><strong>No</strong></em> <em><strong>longer</strong></em> <em><strong>tax</strong></em> <strong><em>deductible</em></strong> <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f620.png?v=00a0b17bbb1" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--angry" title=":angry:" alt="😠" /></p>

<p>4) That the money the participants put in went to the </p>
<p> Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the </p>
<p> General Operating Fund, and therefore, would </p>
<p> only be used to fund the Social Security </p>
<p> Retirement Program, and no other </p>
<p> Government program, and, </p>

<p> <strong><em>Under</em></strong> <strong><em>Johnson</em></strong> <strong><em>the</em></strong> <strong><em>money</em></strong> <strong><em>was</em></strong> <strong><em>moved</em></strong> <strong><em>to</em></strong>                                                                                                         </p>
<p> <strong><em>The</em></strong> <strong><em>General</em></strong> <strong><em>Fund</em></strong> <strong><em>and</em></strong> <strong><em>spent</em></strong>. <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f620.png?v=00a0b17bbb1" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--angry" title=":angry:" alt="😠" /></p>

<p>5) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed</p>
<p> as income.</p>

<p> <strong><em>Under</em></strong> <strong><em>Clinton</em></strong> &amp; <strong><em>Gore</em></strong> </p>
<p> <strong>up</strong> <strong><em>to</em></strong> <strong><em>85</em></strong>% <strong><em>of</em></strong> <strong><em>your</em></strong> <strong><em>Social</em></strong> <strong><em>Security</em></strong> <strong><em>can</em></strong> <strong><em>be</em></strong> <strong><em>taxed</em></strong> <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f620.png?v=00a0b17bbb1" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--angry" title=":angry:" alt="😠" /></p>

<p> Q: Which Political Party decided to start</p>
<p> giving annuity payments to immigrants? </p>

<p> A: That's right! </p>

<p> Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. </p>
<p> Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, </p>
<p> began to receive Social Security payments! The </p>
<p> Democratic Party gave these payments to them, </p>
<p> even though they never paid a dime into it! </p>

<p>waiting to see what comes next ..... Obama... your move?</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/320665</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/320665</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[FairHooker11]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:03:38 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
