@JoeyMannarinoUS sorry "prurient" ... I hate it when that happens

[Phillips ☀️🌔🌎🌬️🌊🔥 @Thephillipsers]

@JoeyMannarinoUS It's only even "potentially" indecent if it elicits a "purient desire" in you...

Way to give yourself away goof

Whattaworld....and to think that once upon a time Baywatch ran for 11 years, much of it as the #1 most watched on Prime Time TV

@KathleenAkyla50 @LStillgar @CaptainConserv1 @FrankMikeDavis1 @JustinAHorwitz Boom!

And even with the bail-outs, 401k etc losses were severe - especially for those at or near retirement age with limited prospects for restoring the hit to their "nest egg".

We all know there's a risk/reward equation in investing. SS was 100% safe and its benefits DEFINED

[Phillips ☀️🌔🌎🌬️🌊🔥 @Thephillipsers]

@CaptainConserv1 @FrankMikeDavis1 @JustinAHorwitz It's cute the way SS opponents don't care that their arguments contradict each other - for example, same folks that want to *raise* the retirement age to save SS also claim retirees are "ripped off" & unable to recoop what they put in already, with the current retirement age.

[Phillips ☀️🌔🌎🌬️🌊🔥 @Thephillipsers]

@WhiteJoshuaL @boucher_tax @JustinAHorwitz That's what the attack on SS really is all about....billionaires running hedge funds want their hands on your retirement savings. Why? They charge HUGE fees to manage other peoples money & they're greedy for that giant pool of FICA.

SS is literally the SAFEST investment in $ US

[Phillips ☀️🌔🌎🌬️🌊🔥 @Thephillipsers]

@WhiteJoshuaL @JustinAHorwitz You don't understand Social Security nor do you understand "investments"

There's no such thing as an "investment"-anywhere- where you send your money & it sits intact on a shelf w/ your name on it. If you hold your own money on your own shelf you've stashed it, not "invested" it

@tuszyb @WhiteJoshuaL @JustinAHorwitz Where did GWBush "borrow from the Trust"?

The Social Security Fund is invested in notes equivalent to US Treasuries and earn the same rate of interest.

Pretending SSF is vulnerable when it's literally been one of the safest investments available in US dollars is beyond bizarre

[Phillips ☀️🌔🌎🌬️🌊🔥 @Thephillipsers]

@WhiteJoshuaL @JustinAHorwitz For the eleventieth time, NOBODY's RAIDED the SocSecTrustFund. Jeez. It's not a "ponzi" either. And it wasn't mismanaged. Conspiracy theory ravings aren't helpful.

SS was designed for a younger population and we have an aging one so it needs MINOR tweaks

@JustinAHorwitz SS has *never* run up the deficit, but it's projected the Fund will not have enough by 2028

Reps ARE threatening to betray those workers who were promised those benefits & paid accordingly. Congress should lift the cap on FICA + honor ALL beneficiaries w/ deficit spending if nec

@TimCharles72 @BillKristol It's a very popular tourist destination. For reals.

@LarryBoorstein @CIDRAP Because everything in America is special--no reason to believe vaccine refusal in favor of self-administering pool chemicals or awaiting the "sunlight in the body" treatments would correlate with lower intelligence, none at all 🤪

@highbrow_nobrow This guy is running for, or rather from, something and it isn't President or Vice-President.

@RadishHarmers Just when we're catching on to the Deep State cover-up about Covid, now we're being hit with the Deep Space cover-up. Neither are nearly as scary as the Deep Blue Sea cover-up of 1975

@CphilpottCraig Thanks but I don't think it's available to everyone yet. I can log in there but all I get after is the QR code for the phone app
