Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
And??? It is your money, do with it as you wish. If you would have pissed all of that money away on the above, you probably would be dead by now anyway, so it would have worked itself out. It is a natural selection of sorts. Those who save their money and think of their future, have money saved up to take care of themselves when they get older. Those who piss it away on the above will probably die an early death because 1) they did the above things 2) they wont have the money saved up to take care of themselves.
Quasi welfare. SS is certainly not efficient. How can you quantify that? Funds that grow would be greatly more efficient.
When you say "the more someone puts in the more one gets in benefits" I find that to be false based on how the system works. Can you explain that further? My interpretation of the system is that they take a percentage from you and your employer. When you retire you get the same check that pretty much everybody gets. Isn't the system time based instead of dollar based?
FDR gets a thumbs down from me for this and some other things.
By efficient I mean low administrative costs. The SS system pays out depending how much one pays into the system and at what age one starts to collect benefits. If the minimum payment is 1X, then the highest payout is 5X or higher. It is both time and dollar based.
Of course, FDR is the only President to be elected four times.
"All roads lead to Putin" -- Thomas Jefferson
Thanks. It's still a sham that you can get double taxed on it. That shouldn't be legal...
I guess it just goes to show that the average Joe wants a welfare check on the elected 4 times bit. I think his popularity was mostly due to the War anyways. He was a great man who contributed to the gimping of the country in the long term.
No AMERICAN HISTORY cigar for Kenny......
But at least he only said "I think".
For anyone who may be interested......
FDR was elected twice before Hitler invaded Poland and ignited WWII.
FDR was elected a third time before any direct American involvement in WWII.
And FDR was elected a fourth time while the eventual outcome of WWII was anything but certain.
FDR was merely a man...... But he was a great president who provided what this country so desperately needed in 1932, after 4 years of "Hoovernomics" and substantial financial ruin.
Once upon a time in America's political history...... It may have taken a political dolt like Hoover to ELECT a fellow like FDR.
Perhaps history will once again repeat itself.
Perhaps America has needed the incompetence and arrogance of an oaf like little george......
To find the NEED for the rational simplicity of GENTLEMAN like Ron Paul at our next oval office helm!
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said...... But I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
BTW......
There's been a good deal of STUFF on this thread suggesting scenarios of financial folly and future "doom" from America's newest "young and restless", and generally impotent rebels.
Perhaps all such life table lads would do well to consider what a personal Ron Paul investment NOW of up to $2,300 per individual/$4,600 per loving couple, MIGHT BE WORTH TO THEIR RESPECTIVE FUTURES/DECADES...... With NOTHING but the routine snatch and grab politics of PARTY democrats and PARTY republicans at large on any other political horizon.
Lets do the Spinoza math......
$2,300 = $44.23 per week over one year.
$44.23 = less than the cost of 24 bottles of good beer.
24 bottles of good beer per week = less than 3 1/2 bottles of good beer per day.
ERGO (if money may seem to be an issue)......
By merely cutting one's personal good beer consumption from @ 15 to 20 good beers per night...... DOWN to a mere @ 12 to 16 good beers each evening......
Ron Paul could become our next president, and be given the opportunity to allow ALL young Americans to drink all the good beer they feel they deserve......
As long as they remain WISE AND RELATIVELY SOBER enough to never allow another bush or clinton, or any other polished politician, to ever again sully any oval office steps that lead to so much as a tad of pure political poppycock.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said...... But I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
