I went to yahoo finance and looked. I can see that it could happen if
you picked just the right times to buy and sell. But why don't you
look at it too and then compare big blue with the S & P 500. As I
understand one would not be able to invest your privatized SS money
with all the eggs in one basket.

Not an issue. We are glad you are being cooperative. In fact, based on
the data you supplied, we have decided to auction off your property on

You really want more than just the life expectancy at age 65. One of
the factors that help Social Security is the number of people that pay
in and then die before they reach 65. ie pay for retirement and never
get anything. So the number that reach somewhere around 18 and enter
the work force and die before 65 is another number you want.

Extreme example would be persons at age 18 with a life expectancy of
65. So about half of them pay into the system and die without drawing
any benefits. Now change that to a life expectancy of 70. Lots more
draw benefits. Over 500 draw benefits for five years.

And Bush does not want to go back to 1929 with no government retirement
system.
He wants to go to a system that has some real assets. Not the present
system that has a imaginary trust fund.

I recently picked up and read " Hard Times " edited by Studs Terkel.
I recommend it if you can find a copy.

Jim,

If you really want to argue, read the Constitution first!

We can discuss Iraq on another thread where you will also be proved to be
wrong.

Your rash comment will be forgiven after you have read and understand the
Constitution.

Hint... after you read the preamble, move on to section 8.

It's not a large percentage, and it's offset to some degree (more or less, I
don't know) by survivor's benefits.

Overall, the good number for use in input/output analyses is the life
expectancy at 65. They use that number a lot in the insurance business, and
they're playing you-bet-your-life for billions of dollars of their OWN
money. It kind of clears the mind. g

65. So about half of them pay into the system and die without drawing
any benefits. Now change that to a life expectancy of 70. Lots more
draw benefits. Over 500 draw benefits for five years.


If you're really curious about this, the statistics are available. Check the
various kinds of data you can order from the Census Bureau. It's a lot more
than you'll find online.


And Bush does not want to go back to 1929 with no government retirement

I like ol' Studs. It's like reading something from a
trade-unionist/socialist from the 1930s (actually, that's exactly what Studs
is all about), but he's a smart guy and well worth reading.

I've heard the book is good. Maybe I'll get around to it.

Taxes take money from some people and give it to other
people. That seems like a pretty good starting point - except
it leads to the inescapable conclusion that you don't like
to pay *any* taxes. Further that you claim that our governments
(state and federal, I would guess) should not be doing that.

Once again I would say you are doomed to disapointment, living

You could collect Medicare just as well as anyone else, George. It doesn't
discriminate. And Congress, as well as a very large majority of Americans,
think that the result is good for the general welfare of the country.

It doesn't have the Constitutional authority to do so.

Well don't take my word for it George. If I were gunner, I'd quote
from some left (right) wing whackO site, but I won't do that either.
How about if I quote from a legal opinion, like this one he

http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/schiavo/33005ca11rhrng2.pdf

To save you the trouble of opening the pdf file, I'll quote from it
he

(begin quote)
================================================== =================
.....despite sincere
and altruistic motivation, the legislative and executive branches of our
government have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding
Fathers' blueprint for the governance of a free people -- our Constitution.
Since I have sworn, as have they, to uphold and defend that Covenant, I
must respectfully concur in the denial of the request for rehearing ...
================================================== ==================
(end quote)

I dunno. Sounds like the author is pretty much in favor of
the conclusion, "George Bush thinks the constitution is best
suited for toilet paper." He's so busy tripping over his own
two feet to get back from vacation to try to bulldoze that Terry
law into effect, he kinda forgot about a little thing called
the US constitution.

Seeing as you love that document so much George, you must be
horrified to find that your own president wiping his behind
with it.

Read the entire decision, it's pretty interesting. It has other
things in it like:

================================================== ======================
Accordingly, we must conscientiously guard
the independence of our judiciary and safeguard the constitution, even in
the face of the unfathomable human tragedy that has befallen Ms. Schiavo
and her family and the recent events related to her plight which have
troubled the consciences of many."
================================================== ======================

Basically the US constitution takes precedence over pandering to the
religious right, GWB's hand-wringing notwithstanding.

Have a sparkling day, George.

Hard Times is not written by Studs. But edited by him. There are
various sections. Some written by people that prospered during the
depression, Others by people that suffered. I found it interesting in
that I got views of the depression from all sides.

It is a private account in that it is in your name and your wife or
children can inherit it. But there are a limited number of choices.
A bit like IRA's but more restrictive. You can not invest in Art in an
IRA for example. The government always feels like they can tell you
what to do with your money. For example income tax is due by the year,
but the government says you must pay in installments.

Jim,

You're jumping to unwarranted conclusions. I've already given you credit
for enough intelligence to sort things out. I really hate to be mistaken.

Of course we need taxes for essential services. Military, judiciary, law
enforcement, transportation system, to name a few. What we don't need is
the socialist programs liberals are so fond of.

They are about half way through regulatory review. Given that, you probably
know better than I when this will be on the market but they seem to think 18
months at least. The financial risk has also now been spread among two other
drug makers. Is that common?
As you may know ( or not), Amylin does make have a new Type I product out -
Symlin - and that may well be of some interest to you if insulin alone isn't
completely controlling the disease. It has only been out for a couple of
weeks now. See: http://www.amylin.com/pipeline/symlin.cfm

At any rate, the genesis of many new drugs and treatments can be
interesting. Collecting and analyzing natures toxins has become a big

You can try to cloud the issue with bull****, but the fact remains...


"Bull****"? This, from a guy who just told us he had the math all figured
out in third grade, that the birthrate was going down, even though it
actually went up for roughly 20 years after he was born?

George, you're going to have a problem now passing yourself off as the clear
voice of reason. g

the
ratio of those paying in to the system relative to those receiving payment
is and will continue in the same direction... the direction that is fatal

to
the system.


It will go in the same direction for quite a while, assuming that current
trends can be projected (a specious assumption, but we'll go along) but it
is hardly fatal to the system.

I don't think you know the numbers well enough to make the statements you're
making, George. I don't think you know how wide the range of projections is,
nor what it would take, right now, to get SS over the coming hump.

So, as I said, believe what you want. You will anyway. As for me, I believe
that the real experts at this business, the actuaries, know enough to
realize it's all political b.s. Some of them have said so. So have a number
of the world's top economists.

I'd rather keep listening to the facts. Enjoy yourself.

Well, then you're opposed to state's rights, then. That's one of the more
curious flip-flops that conservatives have gone through over the past 20
years or so. I guess they're goring different oxen these days.

That's the context in which the 14th becomes an issue, when a citizen of a
state sues the state because his rights are being violated. The effect has
been to impose most of the BOR upon the states, making the states subject to
federal law on a wide variety of rights-related issues.

That some men have become more equal than others is
NOT a good thing.


Yeah, when the income differential between corporate executives and their
workers hit a factor of 400, I came over to your side on that issue, too.


Now tell me your take on the second.


It means that Congress shall not make any law infringing the rights of
individuals to own guns, subject to the same limitation that all of the BOR
is subject to: compelling state interest (which is to say, national
interest, because the 2nd doesn't apply to the states) to limit it.

For the record, I don't think that the federal "assault weapons" bills meet
the standard of compelling state interest. They're cases of overreaching.

Again, I don't follow type 2 treatments at all. There's too much to it. Type
2 actually is more complicated, from a medical standpoint. Type 1 is
relatively simple: we ain't got no insulin production, nohow. g

The financial risk has also now been spread among two other
drug makers. Is that common?


I don't really know the answer to that. Small drug companies form joint
ventures and other tie-ins when they have a patent on something they aren't
big enough to develop or market. Other than that, I don't know that end of
drug-industry finances. The thing that looms large in my work is the
incredible cost of conducting pre-release and post-market trials. That's
where most of the millions go. Marketing is second to that.

As you may know ( or not), Amylin does make have a new Type I product

out -
Symlin - and that may well be of some interest to you if insulin alone

completely controlling the disease. It has only been out for a couple of

Yes, I know about Symlin. It will be very useful to those type 1s who have
certain types of control problems.


At any rate, the genesis of many new drugs and treatments can be

Yeah, it's interesting. I could see getting involved in the science of it,
but it wouldn't have been my first choice if I had chosen to go into
scientific research.

specific examples supporting what you say. Otherwise, we will be free to
assume you've made that judgement without having any facts and without ever
reading the Constitution.

Maybe with your slant it looks like one. Congress isn't really providing
for general welfare... it's merely Juggling individual welfare from one
group of individuals to another. It doesn't have the Constitutional
authority to do so.


Taxes take money from some people and give it to other
people. That seems like a pretty good starting point - except
it leads to the inescapable conclusion that you don't like
to pay *any* taxes. Further that you claim that our governments
(state and federal, I would guess) should not be doing that.

Once again I would say you are doomed to disapointment, living
in the US. To get what you want, you need to move someplace
else.

Gee Jim...its always the conservatives that when unable to debate,
trot out the Love it or Leave it line. Right?

When did you become a Conservative?

All of it. That's Congress's authority, as set forth in the Constitution.

You pick some county judge as the final arbiter of the state of the
US?

Oh boy Jim.....are we gonna have fun with this.....since you think
this actually is the end all and be all.....

Slow learner arnt you?

Justice Catron, Justice Wayne, Justice Nelson, Justice Grier, Justice
Daniel, and Justice Campbell concurring in separate opinions.

Justice McLean and Justice Curtis dissenting in separate opinions.

1. The territory thus acquired, is acquired by the people of the
United States for their common and equal benefit, through their agent
and trustee, the Federal Government. Congress can exercise no power
over the rights of persons or property of a citizen in the Territory
which is prohibited by the Constitution. The Government and the
citizen, whenever the Territory is open to settlement, both enter it
with their respective rights defined and limited by the Constitution.

2. Congress have no right to prohibit the citizens of any
particular State or States from taking up their home there, while it
permits citizens of other States to do so. Nor has it a right to give
privileges to one class of citizens which it refuses to another. The
territory is acquired for their equal and common benefitand if open to
any, it must be open to all upon equal and the same terms.

3. Every citizen has a right to take with him into the Territory
any article of property which the Constitution of the United States
recognises as property.

4. The Constitution of the United States recognises slaves as
property, and pledges the Federal Government to protect it. And
Congress cannot exercise any more authority over property of that
description than it may constitutionally exercise over property of any
other kind.

5. The act of Congress, therefore, prohibiting a citizen of the
United States from taking with him his slaves when he removes to the
Territory in question to reside, is an exercise of authority over
private property which is not warranted by the Constitutionand the
removal of the plaintiff, by his owner, to that Territory, gave him no
title to freedom.

"In contrast, the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Circuits have
adopted the most restrictive interpretation (also known as “the
collective rights model”) of the Second Amendment. Under “the
collective rights model,” the Second Amendment never applies to
individuals but merely recognizes the state’s right to arm its
militia."
