Yes, social security they take out of your check when you work. I paid into it from 1965 and just now reaping the benefit's! Younger worker's now may get screwed in the future.

In the U.S. they just give money to lazy people that don't want to work. They actually pay women for having welfare babies and these leeches are supported by taxpayer's.

No, just with inflation, and people living longer, the retired are taking out way more than they put in.

I still think anyone that gets money from the government should be on mandatory random drug tests. You fail, no more money at all ever. We'd have a lot more money to go around for those that truely deserve it

I worked 43 yrs plus 6 yrs in the National Guard. I went through New Orleans Wednesday and you can't imagine how many able body men are wandering the street's in the middle of the day doing nothing. They were in part's of town where Katrina hit the hardest and could use some labor help to clean up the mess. After all it's only been 7 yrs.

Got hammered hard awhile ago. Lightning hit and knocked the power out but luckily I have a backup generator. Look's like we're getting ready for the second round because the next storm's are getting close. We've been getting about 2 or more inches of rain a day and that's been going on for a couple of week's. At least the sugar cane field's are looking great!

http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/70374 check out the special weather statement. We haven't even had a hurricane yet this year and we're already way up on rainfall.
