    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    Okay. Let me spell it out for you really slow..... My post said "At least SS provides for delivery of your benefits to you even if you stop working at age 50..." It doesn't say SS provides benefits "WHEN you turn 50" So it means "At least SS provides for delivery of your benefits to you (at...

    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    And you don't DARE quote me because your claim would fall apart. I suspect your inability to understand words is the problem behind your choice of political affiliation.

    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    So, if you cannot understand plain words correctly, your argument is without validity. And apparently you remain unable to figure out exactly what I said.

    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    I didn't say SS provides benefits to people when they turn 50. You can't win an argument by fantasizing the conversation you would like to have.

    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    Your arguments are still non-existent. SS is no more a ponzi scheme than is any insurance product. You pour your money into a term life insurance policy and after 20 years you terminate it. Where is your money? Gone. At least SS provides for delivery of your benefits to you even if you stop...

    equality isn't fair

    WHOA! Wait, wait wait HOLDIT! "Equality"? I don't know of any informed, responsible, thinking person who advocates "equality". The right is spinning this into BS. They have taken the legitimate objection to growing INequality, and pretend it's a call for "equality". All your objections to...

    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    "Ponzi"?? REALLY?? No. The special-issue Treasury bonds in that Trust Fund carry with them real obligations of the U.S. Treasury to hand over cash for Social Security to pay its beneficiaries. Contrast that with a typical Ponzi scheme, where the scheme's assets are completely phantom, and you...

    No actual money set aside? Is "money set aside" in the case of your bond investments? How about your gold? What about your BANK ACCOUNT for chrisake!

    winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

    First of all, the Social Security Trust Fund contains no “IOUs”. Exactly what are these “IOUs” to which you refer? They are a variety of T-bills. IOUs do not produce any interest income or other gains. T-bills earn interest. T-bills are considered by all financial planners and chartered...

    Okay you want a newbie question? Here's a newbie question!

    Just trying to understand the "business". I haven't planted seed #1 yet. I'm learning. But it looks like if pot is grown right, and they're all girlies, they won't have any seed in the bud. The seeds are prevented and they are, . . . umm, . . . "replaced"(?) with goodies. Question: Many...

    best nutrients

    Okay, I have a really dumb, basic question. Marijuana a weed, right? I mean it's not some delicate GMO invention that must be handled with precision or it dies, right? So what is the benefit of nutes? If it is grown in a good, GOOD soil, isn't that just as good? What do nutes add? I mean...

    Here's my plan. Critique anyone?

    Since growing weed will be legal as of July 1, and since I live on a large enough country plot to grow pot hidden from casual view, I plan to grow outside in 5-gallon Smart Pots where they will stay. I'll start seed in my greenhouse using rockwool cubes or other such medium (not in peat pots)...

    Alaska, Oregon and D.C. legalized rec cannabis

    Spec, guess where I live. You know, I've heard that charge before about corporate lobbying and backing the push for the new law, but I cannot find any evidence of it. -Anywhere. There were two major backing groups that raised $4 million and both were collecting donations from the public...

    Welcome New Members!

    Hi! Newbie here! I live in NW Oregon and haven't had a joint in over 30 years. sheesh. I played it safe with the laws because I felt I had too much to risk. Now Oregon has legalized pot starting in July and I want to be ready! I know nothing of growing pot. I mean nothing. Well, okay, I...
