Re: Has confidence in elected officials ever been lower??? A CNN POLL
I want to hide my head when I see most of them on TV. Of course, the (D)s tend to make me feel that way more than the (R)s but even the latter aren't exactly anything to make me feel good about things.
Re: Has confidence in elected officials ever been lower??? A CNN POLL
Iraq war (((((sham job))))))
Illegal aliens(((((It's massive and a sham job on fixing it)))))))))
Billions unaccounted for in iraq(((((((no accountability)))))))
Homeland security(((((((((((protecting popcorn stands )))))))))))
And those responsible for the iraq war sell job like paul wolfowitz, who at one point said iraq's oil would pay for reconstruction, and when it does not and we find all the wmd claims are bogus, he gets promoted to head the world bank... (((((((((((Were doomed.))))))))))))))

Elaborate please?
I looked at the issue a bit, and if americans invest and a percentage end up not doing so well, they will gripe to the gov't, which might do what the UK ended up doing and reverting it back to gov't controll. I'm not positive on all this and you being an english immigrant could confirm that part for me.

I can't comment on the English thing as I left when I was 12.
The bottom line on SS, as long as people would be limited to their choice of diversified funds, there is virtually no chance of losing money. Look at any period you want and over 10 years the stock market goes up. As long as there's basic controls like limiting it to diversified funds and going even safer in your last 10 working years, the scare tactics are just that. As I've said on other threads, I would happily pay 50% of my current SS tax and agree to never collect anthing if I could then invest the other 50% for my retirement as I wished.

I don't care if SS is about to go bust or not, if people could invest their own money (in a dictated, conservative manner), everyone would have more at the end. Having the government steal all that money from me only to choose how much and when to give it back makes me want to puke.
Has confidence in elected officials ever been lower??? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bush is bad news....there is NO DOUBT he is even worse than Tricky Dick at his worst....but Congress is just as corrupt...take a read of the new book "The Broken Branch" by Ornstein/Mann and see how poorly Congress has been...led by the Bushies!!! Just sickening!!
