The Third Reich knew when to cut their losses.

\"Hitler was aware of Röhm\'s homosexuality. Their friendship shows in
that Röhm remained one of the few intimates allowed to use the familiar
German du (the German familiar form of \"you\") when conversing with Hitler.\"

The old saw \"With friends like these, who needs enemies\" would seem to
apply.

Social Security is a dinosaur from a time when people could live off $13 a month. It\'s useless mainly because government can\'t make money grow, all they can do is make it disappear for nothing. Conservative Republicans want SS replaced by an investment plan similar to Federal Thrift Savings used by federal employees and enacted during Reagan administration. It has a nearly 40 year track record of spectacular success. People will end up with way more retirement annuity.

Medicare is self-supporting.

Why don\'t you learn the facts before you shoot your mouth off espousing all this braindead communist liberal garbage usually originating with lifelong failures who don\'t now anything.

The Republicans main problem is their politician spokespeople are certifiable morons who can\'t explain anything.

Almost like they have a moronic ideology that doesn\'t lend itself well
to any kind of non-world salad explanation in the first place.

If you\'d said \"The Democrats main problem is their politician
spokespeople are certifiable morons who can\'t explain anything.\" I\'d be
more inclined to agree except it\'s not their main problem, just one of them.

I get SS. And pay into SS. I take a mandatory distribution from my
IRA, and pay into my IRA. I do NOT do my own taxes.

Yeah, ain\'t it fun? I slept through the SECURE act and didn\'t realize
they dropped the age limit on IRA contributions. I wonder if it\'s worth
turning the RMD around and putting it back in?

Somehow paying taxes on SS income and also paying into it seems like
double jeopardy. I just hold my nose and pay. Gotta keep Zelensky in graft.
