"As you stand with liberty, America stands with you."
Did he just call for a Revolution on the part of the Iranians?
Because force is a word people like to hear. It makes spreading freedom sound like us going out and kicking butt. Language is a very powerful weapon. I'm telling ya, you gotta read the new book by George Lakoff on how progressives can fight back. He goes into detail on how language can rally the people.
your dad's disability point is a good one ... lots of people collect on social security for disability or death of a legal guardian. Some people are fortunate enough to be well enough insured to cover those things ... but most people are not.Originally Posted by Gold9472
If our government is going to provide for priviatized retirement then they should also consider diability and death benefits ...
What I'm trying to get at but can't understand is this: When you invest money into the U.S. treasury (by bonds, privatized accounts, etc.), they pay you interest at a certain percent, like 5-6%.... Where do they get the extra money? I guess not covering disability and cutting health-care for workers is a start. How do they turn around the domestic deficit? It's frustrating to be fiscally challenged!Originally Posted by Gold9472

This is a good scene though... the sargent's Mom and the Iraqi embracing.... the only good part so far.

So if you buy a 50 dollar bond - they take your 50 bucks, invest it and get 10% back ... and then give you 5%, keeping 5 for themselves ...
Of course, that was an unresearched answer - but I *think* that is how it works.
