In summary, bury your head in the sand, enjoy being a leach by demanding yours just like every other welfare recipient and complain when others do the very same thing.

In my response to CI's post of his feelings he deserves it. I clearly pointed out, everyone receiving welfare feels they have a right to it. Yet, before he, you, the farmer, the corporation, the bum on the street receive their check, it must first be stolen from someelses.
That's not a right. A right can not be fulfilled by first denying someone else of their right. That's why healthcare isn't a right. Public schooling isn't a right and you can go down the list of so called rights.

I have introduced legislation to keep politicians in Washington from ever raiding the Social Security trust fund again. HR 219 The Social Security Preservation Act would assure that all monies collected by the Social Security Trust Fund would only be used in payments to beneficiaries, or be placed in interest bearing certificates of deposit. This would at least stop the bleeding of the fund, and take away some incentive to tease and torture the numbers in order to give seniors the minimal amount. This would also cut off a source of funding for government growth, so it is not likely to get easy support from many politicians.

Right now I've been investing using the late Professor Graham's method. I've bought both his books and read them thoroughly.
I'm currently studying another method that uses the laws of 401ks to your advantage. The 10k foot overview can be summed up like this. 401ks are mainly invested in mutual funds. The law states they must diversify their holdings and can't hold more than 5% of anyone stock. Therefore they are forced to buy and sell even when it's not the best time to do so. This has the effect of taking stocks well beyond their intrinsic value in a rapidly short period of time.
If you would like to know more, may I suggest buying The Intelligent Investor and Stock Analysis to learn more of Graham's philosophy. The other method can be learned through a subscription to IBD.
Good luck

I would sit there and agree with you guys saying your kids will be ok. I would like believe my kids will be ok. However, our ever growing deficit along with no end in sight for the freebies out of Washington. Btw, not just talking the old timer crap. I'm including everything in that pot. Heck, we just passed a law saying 26 year olds are now the new legal age to be on your own. The future is pretty bleak. Especially when you add in the condition of Europe. Their problem isn't that it's so much debt but just how big our shadow is cast. Chen we aren't doing good, the rest of the world isn't doing good. Our looming debt means the world is in for a long dark period.
