i think they'll just borrow more money for those already on it....for those of us not yet on it, forget it!

I don't think so you're economy is built on the industrial war complex and its doing fine.

You are being manipulated by your federal reserve and the Republican agenda in my opinion

Middle class and lower middle class is slowly disappearing. I'm afraid the gov. will start cutting into all those programs little by little. By the time I'm ready to retire I worry that there will be no more Social Security. Then I'll shoot myself.

Yea before long the middle and lower class will be like living in a 3rd world country. My SSDI checks will probley not be enough to cover bread.

What America needs is a modern day Robin Hood, someone to rob the rich to feed the poor and maybe just give everyone a decent standard of living ?

I'm with you daggy.

Hey! There is nothing wrong with capitalism! Being creative and innovative and inventive, and being a brilliant businessperson, should reap it's rewards.....if YOU invented some wonderful product, you hired lots of people to make it, lots more to sell it, lots more to make the facility to house the operation..paid taxes on all of it, paid fair wages to all those people, paid out generous donations all over the place, and then had the government come along and say "Not good enough! We are taking all your profit so that the person without a lick of ingenuity or vision has the same amount of $$ as you have!"

Bull crap! I'm not rich, but I don't covet those that work hard to get what they have!!!!!

soon there will be only two classes of people in america. one will be the super rich like oprah, and the rest will all be living in poverty.

There are plenty of cases to where hard work pays off.

Inventions are great, but I know plenty of people that has worked their ass off and are millionairs. Not from inventions. Look at trump.
What did he invent?
:)

I've wondered the same thing too, Nick.

Ok so you lose your job that means you have no health insurance right everything is out of pocket. Exactly what happens top the people in America that do not have insurance or a job and are in need of say surgery does SSDI cover it or how is this handled in your country

Well most employers have a coverage called cobra and it last like 6 months or so but you have to pay out of pocket and it's very expensive. You can purchase individual plans if your in tip top shape, if not your pretty much $hit out of luck.
If you need a surgery and you have no job no insurance then you get to rott to death :)
Maybe Hillary or Obama will make the "CHANGE" they claim they will
