May the whole world be a better place for the upcoming generations. There is a lot of work to do. We have to raise the standards of living for all mankind instead of letting corporations helping the rich get richer. Our world is where we all have to live. Lift people up, not push them down.
...privatization. Does anyone have a link to an article about what would have happened to those SS funds if Bushco would have gotten their mitts on it back in '05-'06? All I ever see are articles about why SS should still be privatized.
I have found a report from 10/08 here and it wouldn't have been pretty.
"The value of the investment over 35 years is $52,600 in 2008 dollars—an average real annual rate of return of 2.4 percent—not enough to break above the 3 percent offset loss in social security payments. This leaves a net return for the private account of -0.6 percent a year and drains the net benefits received for retirement by almost $26,000."
dontcha just love it when you found out you were to dumb to see your nose in front of your face? the news whores owned by the republicans and the corporations get in charge of the democrats debates for the democrats primarys , then the news whores shove two corporate warmongering whores they want you to vote for in your face while they shove guys like kucinich and gravel under the stage so you cant hear them, and then all we have left to pick from are two bought and paid for repig lights, here folks eat our crap up we love these two and were sure youll love them too, that many felt the news pimps had your interests at heart and you believed them boggles the mind, obummer votes preasant !change indeed!

If it was the gong show, he be off the stage by the second word out of his mouth!
Not sure which open thread counts, so I'll just link my posts from your prior update.
That was a midday open thread.
Seems that's still a crime in lovely murka.

Good job of summarizing the year in 3 minutes. In Christmas carol, no less.
Thanks for introducing me to Uncle Jay! I subscribed.

Hopefully that discussion is a moot point now.
