CSL, you are special, seriously. We're at odds politically as I detest the far right. Your Wife is right, you've contributed to SSI for 40 years. If your principles are so strong and can afford to pass on it that's wonderful, but not fiscally responsible - which you are. Nothing immoral there; anti principle, perhaps. I really don't think "people.... give up their....right to achieve.." They accept it, as I have, because they paid into it, counted on it and feel deserving. That said, I understand it is not a self sustaining program - I paid for my parents and my children and their friends are paying for me. It must be changed soon. But nothing will change w/ obstructionism, it requires compromise. God forbid the Senate Dems ever decide to emulate the GOP and obstruct everything via filibuster. Their natural style is to seek compromise but they're learning from the obstructionist. Golf, love to. I'm 71 but refuse to play from the senior tees, still consistently break 90 and dream still to shoot my age. It's doable, but only play once a month at best.

Hi tkc,

I think the unemployment rate is already far higher than 10%. Actually I think the percent of people engaged in productive work is below 50% of people that are capable of working.

I face a moral quandary next year. I will be eligible for social security. I have not decided if I will accept it.

It is my belief were were created to achieve all that our creator gave us the ability to achieve. That means facing each day somehow using the resouces that have been placed before us and making the world better.

I am appalled at the number of people that are willing to give up their God given sovereign natural right to achieve for a benefit doled out by the government with wealth that has been confiscated from others through taxation, or by the printing of money.

My wife thinks I should take the money.

I buy silver whenever I can.

Someday I hope we get to play a round of golf together. I consider golf to be just a walk in the woods with a friend.
