It's absurd that we have to fund Socialist Security AND save MORE money so we can actually retire.
Was the ROI higher when we were bailing wall street out?

Yes.  It has never been less over time, than SS. 
And we wouldn't have BEEN bailing out wall street if the Government wasn't causing the problem.

What do you think the market would be like, with a constant infusion of money like that?
I think the regulatory agencies are captive and the beast is devouring its prey as we speak. I think the parasite is eyeballing a new host and getting ready to throw us over. I think the market and residential real estate are bad investments right now. 

I can tell you where to make an easy 25% return.

Heh heh heh.

"Over time." The devil is always in the details. 

"What's that, granny? Ya wanna retire now? Oooh... hey, you're a lot better off - OVER TIME."

I divested about 1.5 years ago and bought gold & silver. 
Both are manipulated, but it hasn't lost 25% like everything else Biden has touched.  I'm down about 5%... after being even last week.

No, I mean that given any retirement date, a 30 year investment would be a big profit.  Even in 2008.

I disagree. People got wiped out in 2000, in 2008 - plenty of times in every decade. 

Retirement at a given age requires a stable and predictable income - not a gamble. 

It MAY be true that if granny holds, she'll get well. But that puts off granny's retirement - possibly until she dies. Which sort of kills the purpose of a retirement account. Work til ya die, THEN retire? :blink:

I invested in a bug in shelter and a zombie apocalypse infrastructure. I've never regretted it.

As far as the deficit goes. Republicans increase it.
Dems lower it.

Mam,,
I was shouting, "Don't spend money that you do not have.
Live within your means.   Balance the budget.   Balance the books".

Both Teams are guilty of this sin.
A sin against our children.
You,.....would not do that.
Nor, would I.
I am Libertarian.
I seek 0 National Debt,.....& 0 Deficit Spending.



Would I trust you as my CPA ?     Yes, I would.
​​​​​​​You are good in this area.
I read you as being heavy duty strong in the valley of money.
I am a very good judge of character.         I read people.
You would not do me wrong.
My cowboys friends might call me a fool.
"Those godddamn New Yorkers are a bunch of crooked snakes
  You cannot trust them".
But,
I can see through the fog.
Peace, Sister.

What is  the modern replacement for a kamikaze: an UNMANNED DRONE.

You can probably take out a carrier costing billions with a couple of well-armed drones and zero casualties.
No pilots to  train, no widows and orphans to support. 
Aircraft carriers are very expensive,and obsolete.

Did Jesus pull my fat out of the fire........once?
Noooooo.........(not once)............
50 times.

I seek to build 5 more Aircraft-Carriers.

Why?
Military Strength...............will stop all aggression against us.

Poker.

Go ahead assholes...start **** around with Social Security and Medicare and see what happens in 2024.
