Again, social security is not a mortgage and is not even remotely comparable to one.

There is still no solid way to persist RSS feeds (...especially the content they actually refer to) to private storage. Any serious archiving service today will need to undertake s…

Yea, but that matters less than you think in this context as what I want (a bookmark service for bookmarks) matters a lot less than how the service is marketed and funded.

For those not in the know: [Readability]( https://github.com/mozilla/readability )

...is there a better reason to like webkit? Chromium certainly doesn't make effort to seem appealing to developers outside of its association with WebKit.

Ok, but you could say the same thing about people being paranoid about social security bankrupting "us", if "us" indeed has any meaning without a welfare state. Ignorance plagues a…

Sure, but fewer (sic) features is mostly a better state of affairs, and apple devices are mostly what matter if you're catering to rich westerners (as most products on this forum t…

The surplus won't be solvent; the program itself is fine by definition. The entire concept of "social security solvency" is fear-mongering by people who want you to think of the en…

Well, perhaps you're right. I am not a finance guy and it seems to me you can probably pull debt out of any kind of relationship if you squint right. But it certainly is not to bla…

Maybe you're right. But then I'll be telling anyone who will listen that they're being sold up the river to finance the military and the wealthy against all reason.

Social security isn't analogous to a mortgage. It's a rolling payout to the current population.

Paying out 77% of benefits is not the same as running out of funds. You are still guaranteed payments while anyone in this country is making income.

Social security is funded with a social security tax. 6% of your paycheck is paid by you, 6% by your employer. (Or 12% by you if you are self-employed.)That by law can only go to f…

No, the SURPLUS will run out. The fund will not.

How does that contradict anything I said? If you have issues with what it is, that's fine. But it still doesn't impact our deficit or ability to pay off debt.
