I believe there is a south American country that serves as the model that the US uses for SSI privatization.


Why is it assumed that a South American country's GDP, politics, legislation, population, and the myriad other differing statistics, would be identical to the U.S. in gauging how SSI privatization would work this country?

How so?


A disabled persons net worth increases 700% if they buy their own house and do not spend their monthly check on a rental apartment. This is just one example.

A disabled friend of mine just sold the house their disability check and tenant money bought them and made a profit of $100.000 dollars.

So are you saying we cannot learn a thing from Argentina's own experience? And a mass of data from other countries who have attempted other measures. Why? Maybe because their SSI was going or had gone broke too.

I believe we can learn quite a bit from Argentina's experience, don't you?

There's no axe; you seem to think that you have me angered somehow.

I'm not mad at you at all. I just don't wish to discuss things with someone who doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. I'm sure you don't feel that you don't know what the hell you are talking about; but you sure haven't displayed that here in any way. Your empty generalities don't do anything than tell people what your opinion is, and frankly, we don't CARE what your opinion is.

Good day.

It is just me or has this thread pretty much died out in a haze of blind neoconservative ideology?

Drones? You would know, Rex...

WE? Who are WE? The third riche?
The difference is, I care what your opinion is but I think it is "incorrect". I am the better for it. Much of what you post is tailored to fit your own ideologue. It is evident, the slander, to those who step back from your obsession and focus to reality for a moment.

I had no problem understanding what he was saying. I had no trouble following his logic, which was actually quite sound. Perhaps your hysterical blindness temporarily clouded your vision and you couldn't quite make out the words. Is that a possibility?

Anyways, you do not speak for anyone other than yourself, perhaps you should edit your post to say "I don't CARE what your opinion is."...

Clearly divorced from reality...

"Fundamental problem is the democrats don't trust markets... and over time, as Chuck Hagel points out in his speech when he introduced his plan... Every single index fund that you could imagine whether it is the stock fund or a blended fund or a bond fund always makes more money over time, even during depression, than the social security trust fund."
