Can we get a mod to lock this thread and start over without the three stooges?
Why? You've got disagreement and discussion going on...

Yes I did. All my working life. How does that make it earned? I've been on SS for just over four years and I have already taken out more than I put in over my working career. How is that fair to the taxpaying citizens?
It took this nation almost 80 years of Social Security to get us to this failure. We need to reverse the trend and end social security over a 50 year period. It might have been a noble idea but it is a failure.
I get three retirement checks. Two of which I earned.

Anyone who doubts that Rick Perry is going to run for President should watch this speech.
It it essentially a draft stump speech given at the Republican leadership council.
He stumbles over a few points and parts of it don't work. But given a few more weeks of practice and some fine tuning it should be a very effective speech for getting Republican primary voters to vote for him.
He is also one of the few candidates who can appeal to the fiscal conservatives and the religious conservatives. His record on both sides is good.

Yes! He's running and I am happy about it. The more the better. If only the Democrats would have a race, so that they could find new and better ideas. The ones they have now are not working.
Ah, so entitlements are "earned" when the cash flow's coming your way, eh?
Millions throughout history have served their nation-states without receiving a free ride afterwards, yet just because we have the wealthy New Englanders and Californians to carry you, suddenly it's "earned"?
If you don't believe in wealth transfer, give the money back to the people who really earned it.
With all due respect you're an idiot. You wouldn't know a good idea if it ...

Inflation, yup, we've got that now with Bobo, the Post Turtle.
...and what thread hasn't gone off topic...
But on the topic Rick Perry panders, as do many seeking office, and if he wants to run for President, then he'll have to deal with the succession issue...
Oh I see. So because you are on a fixed income you want deflation so that YOUR money is worth more. Economy be damned as long as governmentworker777 gets his.
Why would I want deflation? Besides that I never said that nor did I imply any such thing.
Maybe you didn't know it but the absence of inflation is not deflation.
This country won't survive another "Texas miracle" in its current shape.
Try using the correct words. It will help the discussion.
Oh, just in case you are interested and you did not use the wrong word, the Lt. Governor will succeed to the office of Governor when he wins the office of President, 6 NOV 2012 and takes the office on 20 JAN 2013.
without inflation what do you think will happen?
I spent many years in the Marine Corps. Over ten of them out side this country. Some of those places were none to friendly, either. That is an earned retirement. .

I keep trying.
1. He's running.
2. I like it.
3. He will win.
