I think Bush's solution is a recipe for disaster. Young people rarely know how to properly invest their finances. Some youngsters will probably lose majority of their holding by investing in something futile like the dot.com start up companies in the late 90's. Anyone with common sense and market experience could see the books cooking, but the inexperienced played blindly into the greedy corporate hands. If I were the president or in charge of this situation, I would resolve it by creating a military company based upon miliatry construction in foreign countries. Instead of free government aid in foreigh countires, I would require that all countries above third world poverty status be required to repay all financial assistance at a set interest rate. This money would then be placed in a higher interest rate account which would accrue for 10 to 15 years, after such time the allocated funds would be dispersed through social security. In the meantime to buy time and access further funding: I would also tax foreign ailrines for the privilage of flying into US airspace. And I would penalize foreign countries a set fee for each one of their citizens deported due to illegal US entry. This secures more funding and stability in contrast to Bush's plan. On what a brilliant Idea, secure more funding by the destroying what little economy exists in other countries. What we should be doing is forcing our corporations to pay up for what they do wrong, not forcing innocent nations to pay up. If the citizens of the world stood up and demanded living wages for those in 3rd world countries, demanded stiff fines for dumping, and demanded accountability, the world would be a much better place. 10-15 years down the road, you'd see more employment, here and abroad as more people can afford to actually buy goods. Not only will it give forth more employment, but as the economies of nations around the world improved, we'd be able to collect money owed, and repay our own foreign debt. In turn you'd see a reduction of illegal immigration, because those coming illegally aren't doing so for no reason, they want jobs, education, and overall a better opportunity. We have to provide it to them. Only then can we start to see change.

^A lot of us don't agree with the things that the government does. Take for instance, instituting an amendment against gay marriages- why waste their time on something like that??

I hate the fact that they want to do that. They say it's because of the Christian religion. Last I checked we were in a country that gives you freedoms such as you can celebrate and participate in any religion that you want. So because they are gay, christians think that they will go to hell, and they don't want that happening...

correct and I do believe they say everyone has equal rights and the gay people are someone and getting married is a right. Correct?

Ahem, sorry to be the party fart here, but gay marriage shouldn't even matter to most. There are much more important things in life. It is discrimination, not allowing gays to marry. Simple as that. It's just as discriminating as not allowing interracial couples to marry.
But, isn't this thread about social security?

Well, after 3 threads of posts, Aiko makes the most sense. Why is it an obligation for America to be the hospitable country. We are scolded for interfering with other countries yet they expect us to bail them out when in a crisis. You know what, sorry we have all the money. Our economy is on thin ice and our futures are in jeapordy so I am prepared to take whatever measures neccesary. Somethng just doesn't sit right to me about the way Bush wants to handle this situation.
