Obamacare: The Social Security Fix
Posted by: | CommentsI’m writing this to go on record concerning this subject. In a few years when what I am going to predict is beginning to happen, I can point to this post and say: “I told you so!” That is, if I’m still alive. If Obamacare becomes law it will be the method by which the bankrupt social security system will be fixed. How is this you ask?
The impending doom for Social Security is found in the huge numbers of baby boomers who will go on Social Security/Medicare over the next 5 to 25 years. Because the abortion-on-demand movement has murdered over 50,000,000 babies since 1973, we are missing 1.5 generations of Americans who should be working and paying taxes, particularly FICA employment taxes. When the boomers retire there will not be enough people paying FICA taxes to support their Social Security payments. Big problem.
There are only two solutions to fix this potential disaster. The first is to drastically raise FICA taxes on the working population. The second is to reduce the number of people drawing Social Security checks. I predict that the people paying the FICA taxes will prefer the second method. I also believe Obamacare will provide the means to accomplish the reduction in the number of people receiving social security. How? It’s very simple: Administrative Volutary Euthenasia!
When Obamacare is in effect, the Government is going to gradually decide who deserves certain kinds of care. A 70 year old person suffering cancer will be provided hospice care, rather than expensive Chemotherapy. As the aged get sick, they will be thinned out by being denied the expensive care and treatment that might help them live a few more years. Instead they will be offered Administrative Voluntary Euthenasia. This will be Dr. Kervorkian on steroids, from coast to coast!
I am 67 as of this post. I fully expect the day to come when I am going to get sick with something and the government is going to disapprove the treatment I need based on my age and the expense of the treatment. Obamacare will prohibit me from buying it out of my own pocket and the government will help me exit this world as painlessly as possible. When you multiply this scenario millions of times it won’t be long until the Social Security recipients are drastically reduced. The result will be a ‘fix’ for Social Security.
Call me a conspiracy nut if you like, but I believe this is inevitable if Obama and the Democrats have their way.
It’s time to start using the “N” word!
Posted by: | CommentsDear Jim Bob,
I’m just about ready to stop watching the major TV News programs. Jim Bob, I’m not dumb and I try to keep up with current events. What I don’t understand is how the news media and the liberals can consistently get things so wrong. They seem to be more interested in themselves than the truth. I’m beginning to think they are all a bunch of Narcissists!

Dear Disgusted,
Maybe you are on to something. I did a little research about Narcissism and discovered there is a medical condition called Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). It is evidently a clinical condition and is described as a condition in which there is an inflated sense of self-importance and an extreme preoccupation with one’s self. I was shocked to discover the actual symptoms of the disorder. Here are the main indicators:
A person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD):
- Reacts to criticism with rage, shame, or humiliation: This certainly seems to describe President Obama’s and the Democrat’s reaction to public criticism of the Democrat Socialized Medicine Act of 2009. Anyone who opposes them is now considered to be “Racist”. Congressman Joe Wilson is the latest victim of this symptom.
- Takes advantage of other people to achieve his or her own goals: Wow, this is Nancy Pelosi in action isn’t it? You could stuff the entire Global Warming Hoax into this category.
- Has feelings of self-importance: This one is so obvious it doesn’t require a comment.
- Exaggerates achievements and talents: This was the primary characteristic of the Democrat Presidential campaign in 2008! Never has a man or his party who has done so little claimed so have accomplished so much!
- Is preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, beauty, intelligence, or ideal love: This may be the best description of the media and of Hollywood that can be found. And, since most of those folks are liberals it would tend to identify the entire lot of them as “N’s” (I will hence forth abbreviate “Narcissist” by merely using the “N” word).
- Has unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment: I can remember when George W. Bush had to beg for primetime TV coverage to deliver an address to the American People. The Obama Show has almost become a weekly event on network TV.
- Requires constant attention and admiration: What a combination we have with Democrats, The National Media and the entertainment industry. It’s a big, unending pile of “N’s”.
- Disregards the feelings of others, lacks empathy: How else could you describe ignoring the presence of hundreds of thousands of people on the Washington DC Mall to protest big government and writing them off as “Right-wing Extremists”? This happened on September 12, 2009.
Disgusted, I think you have stumbled on to the core problem of liberalism.
The Best Global Warming Carbon Reduction Strategy
Posted by: | CommentsDear Jim Bob,
I know the Democrats want to pass a big carbon tax bill to help stop global warming. Is that the best strategy Jim Bob?
Gullible in New Jersey
Dear Gullible,
As you know, most Americans go to sleep each night in total fear of the Global Warming Threat. It’s real important that we do what has to be done to stop this beast in its tracks! Hardly a minute of my own life goes by that I am not fretting and wringing my hands over the threat of climate change. I keep a thermometer with me at all times to monitor hourly changes as they occur. Yesterday, for example, the high temperature was 1 degree higher than it was the day before. I am terrified of this trend.
Fortunately, I recently read what I believe to be the most effective idea to halt the global warming threat. It was published by the United Nations, so it must be the right approach. Essentially, they recommend that human beings stop reproducing themselves! Since Global Warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and human beings exhale carbon dioxide in the course of breathing, the simple solution to Global Warming is to eliminate human beings from the equation. What a simple solution. Only the United Nations could come up with such a brilliant idea.
Roger Martin, chairman of the Optimum Population Trust at the LSE, said: “It’s always been obvious that total emissions depend on the number of emitters as well as their individual emissions – the carbon tonnage can’t shoot down as we want, while the population keeps shooting up.”
Amazingly, the Democrat Socialized Medicine Act of 2009 will work well with the new UN strategy. As healthcare for the elderly is carefully rationed and their numbers are in accelerated decline, the population will be decreased significantly. No doubt increasing the number of abortions will also help reduce the population in the future. I mean, abortion on demand since the 1970’s has already spared us the extra carbon emissions of almost 50,000,000 people who don’t exist today. How wonderful is that?
So, the Global Warming threat will be unexpectedly reduced under the Obama/Democrat health strategies. The next step is obviously to copy the China policy of government enforced family size limits.
