When you run out of other people's money

172 LSAT... 'nuff said.

I just did it apples to apples and the results were 175% to 107%. That's the apples to apples comparison. No need to add in all these other methodologies when comparing the same to the same. I know exactly what you're talking about with the other U.S. Numbers; hell I was the first one posting about it back in 2008. It's called an unfunded liability. Neither you nor I know what Greece's unfunded liability is, but knowing what I do know about Greece I'm certain it's way higher than ours.

The Greeks know what their unfunded liabilities are and from what they are saying it isn't that much but I have yet to find an exact number.

A big deal is being made about how generous the Greek pensions are and the only one that I can compare it to is my grandmothers pension which was 6 times higher then the average Greek pension that I can find data about. Just under 900 euros is the average I believe and that doesn't sound like much to me.

Are far as our GDP to debit ratio goes; how long do you think it will take for us to exceed what the Greeks have done at our currant rate of spending? 3 years? 5 years?

I'm not saying it couldn't happen here. I'm saying we're not anywhere close to this.

But you condone this kind of stuff right? All this medicare, medicade, SS, welfare, great big ol pensions, endless social programs? I mean, you wouldn't want to see it all go away, right? I'd like to hear your plan, on how you think it could somehow work someday. And not just be pie in the sky pipe dreams. No I'm not trolling, I'd really like to hear it from someone who believes in it.

Yale is FAR from a Socialist. LMFAO!!!

Everyone is in favor of cutting government spending in the abstract. The moment it affects them, someone they know or some pet idea of theirs though, that goes out the window.

SVO855 will you forego your Social Security? Before you say that "you paid in" realize that it is a transfer program, not an investment program.

[Cooter]

I bet you he would gladly forego it. He's got money, and he's... "hyper-principled"?

Maybe so, for people that have made a lot of money in their lives it can easily be $3,000 a month.

I'd forego mine if I could withdraw from the program now and invest the money myself.

Racrguy seems to lean pretty far left. Maybe dohctr too, national socialist and all that.

I'd like a nice little mix of libertarianism and democratic socialism, and a return to of the Civilian Conservation Corps. You're broke, and you need a hand? Fine, but I'm getting some goddamned new roads. Everyone that chooses means testing for a real disability handout is getting vetted by a Marine Corps DI.

Say what you will about national socialism (I am not one), but that shit worked like a motherfucker for the Germans. It took a shit-tier, broken, war torn society filled with pessimism and brought it center stage to become the envy of the world.

Then they dun goofed by invading people and shit.

Say what you will about national socialism

At least it's an ethos.
