What is Romneys angle with Paul Ryan?

Quote from Maverick74:

Ben Bernanke is a fucking criminal and should be charged with treason. This is the same guy that said in 2007 he saw no issues with the current housing bubble and no possibility of a credit crisis. He explained housing prices will remain stable and he saw no reason for them to drop. Thanks Ben! No, I will not listen to that crook tell me anything is going to be OK ever again. Seriously, you say you are a fan of Ron Paul and at the same time think Bernanke has credibility? Do you ever even listen to Ron Paul or was that just a funny ruse you like to pull from your dorm room?

I'm trying to be civil here,Even if Bens numbers arn't perfect a slight increase in withholding taxes and increase in retirement age and the system can be fixed the next 100 years.I have read numerous economist say that
 
Quote from AK Forty Seven:

Bush already tried to privatize SS and it was quickly shot down by both partys after their constituents started screaming Hell No..People don't want SS privatized and they don't want medicare coupons

Wrong yet again. Bush wanted to give people the option of choosing where to invest their social security funds vs going into money market funds. The fear was that if the stock market crashed then the people who are in the 50's and 60's would not have enough time to make those losses back.

OK, one more time. You seem to be having trouble with this. The issue here is NOT whether the checks are going to go out. It's whether the checks have any VALUE. Putting a physical check in the mail is not what the social security mess is all about. And no, I don't expect any Keynesian economist to ever acknowledge that our currency is getting debased from monetary policy. Come on AK. Step your game up a little here.
 
Quote from Max E. Pad:

...Can anyone think of the reason Romney would have done this?

I think he wanted Ron Paul, but got the names mixed up.
 
Quote from Maverick74:

Max, I hate to break this to you but I don't know a single working class family that gets their news from the NYT. They can write up all the crap they want, no one reads it. Let me ask you something, did the NYT keep us out of Iraq?

I uused the New York times as a representation of the liberal media as a whole. Did You know that NBC, CBS, and ABC didnt even cover the "Romney killing some woman" attack ad for 4 days? when one of them did cover it, it was kind of just a one off type deal......... CNN didnt even lead with that story except that limey fuck piers morgan, everyone else lead with different stories, Straight up, the headlines are going to be "Ryan wants to cut medicare" and there will be no explanation as to why, i promise you this will happen.

And the people wanted to leave it the way it was correct ?

Max I know this is going to happen but look, the media was 100% behind Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 and they lost. I know a lot of independents who only voted for Obama in 2008 because he was black. That novelty has worn off. People want change. The media can lie all they want. The media couldn't stop the slaughter that was the 2010 elections. Look, at the end of the day, people vote based on their job. Are they working or out of work. If they are working, are they better now then they were 4 years ago. The formula hasn't changed in 100 years. You are giving the media way too much power. Hell half my friends in Chicago don't even own a TV.

They were correct to do so. I don't think people should be touching that money. While it might make sense for me or Max who have some common sense on where to invest our money, the average American would blow it. The stock market thing was a bad idea. That is NOT what Ryan is proposing.

The stock market thing will be used a lot against private SS.
The Republicans should make it a program where every year each person gets one US bond equal to their yearly SS contribution. This Bond will matures at retirement age.
A good angle is that the Govt has lots of debt to sell. Why not get the SS bonds in American hands and away from the Chinese.

This way the Govt can still use the money.
