   She spent all "her" money when she voted for all that government deficit spending. But, ignoring that, if she wants the $2,561 nominal dollars she "paid in" all those years ago, she can have it: in nominal dollars. She voted for inflation; she doesn't get to have her Ponzi scheme just ignore it.

     Boomers with these "you have to pay into the government ponzi because I did" takes on Social Security tend to also have fat retirement accounts and own real estate too. Truly the cherry on top of the greed sundae of "fuck you got mine" that defines the boomer mindset.

     @Hoss @gentoobro Once you understand that "the war on communism" was just to make American even more socialist (and making people believe its not) starts making history more clear.

     I'd say if you paid into it you should get what you paid into it back out- I want my fucking money back- but inflation means whatever you put in ain't worth what it is now.

     I wish I could bring FDR back from the dead just to shove him and his gay wheelchair down a very large staircase.

     Everybody is terrified to take the steps that will actually fix shit because it's going to hurt, but whose fault is that? We didn't have to end up in a position where a brutal correction is required, but here we are.

     All the more reason the federal funds rate should be parked at 20% for the next few decades, and existing mortgages owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should all be recast to no lower than 12%, and no banks should be bailed out if their portfolioed mortgages fail, causing them to also fail.

     The people who get fucked by the (much needed) real estate crash should be the ones who rode it up in the first place.

     And every bandaid makes it worse. Imagine if after the 2008 crash banks were allowed to fail and interest rates were parked at ~10%. It would have been slightly unpleasant, but prices would have fallen and everyone would be in a much better financial position now, save the banksters.

     Prison? They already robbed us, don't spend any more money on them. One rope will do, as it's reusable.

     That was so much money in the Vietnamese economy that the fraud actually caused a local recession when it was revealed.
