    The commissioner of SS has to present government bonds to the treasury for cash and the treasury has to borrow money to replace it, From who or what is that pea game you referred to.
    I believe it would be far better if the bonds were based on corporate investments rather than being subjected to government manipulations which seem to always wind up driving the U.S. deeper in debt.
    As it is, there were no pre-savings to offset the amount of retirement benefits produced by we baby boomers and when the ready cash was converted to bonds the bonds were based on government projections, which to date has had little or no promise of breaking even much less producing a surplus, hence, more borrowing.

    What the government has done with the Social Security fund is what a lot of Union bosses were put in jail for doing to the Union retirement funds.

    Although they pulled it from public view when everyone started making fun of it, the whackadoodle Green New Deal implementation plan was true. -- Free Beacon

    "The Senate will hold a vote on the Green New Deal, an environmental and energy plan touted by progressives, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday.

    “We’ll give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the Green New Deal,” McConnell said."

    The Democrats are hollering foul; he just wants to make us look bad. :D Imagine that.

    Yeah, they don't want to go on the Senate record. Typical.

    Yes, and from my understanding, once the senate has voted a bill down it takes a long time and a lot of changes to present the bill to congress again. Sometimes years.

    Think she was good for a laugh at the start but think she is getting beyond a joke.

    I heard her cheer this morning that Amazon was not going to build in her district. The 20--25 thousand jobs will be located elsewhere. Governor Cuomo is very upset with her and her cadre of Socialist politicians. After all, New York doesn't need any more tax revenue. It has enough.;)

    Cuomo just said this last week that the state lacked billions of bucks from meeting the budget. I wonder why she couldn’t pick up on that and run with it?
    Cortez seemed to think that the state (or city of NY) had to PAY Amazon a bunch of money to build there instead of simply getting a tax break like most industries do when they negotiate a huge build.
    The woman is definitely stuck on herself (or stuck on stupid) and has had some pretty good outside influences who say that she’s smart which aids her expanded view of herself.
    Even her economics professor said that she was at the top of her class so that pretty much tells me what kind of curve she was graded on. 0 to duh means she graduated at duh.

    Are there really those on here that think that trying to keep a cow from farting will change the world? Are you kidding me?

    Liberals consider everyone's money to belong to the government. Thus, a tax break is considered to be an expense.
