According to The Washington Post, a major pension provider for truckers will drastically cut benefits an average of 23 percent for the truckers it covers if it’s approved by President Obama’s Treasury Department.

Just the typical stuff of the day. Unions, insurers, and government have all become the leaches of society.

Wait till this happens with SOCIAL SECURITY.

Print money, print money.

"Wait till this happens with SOCIAL SECURITY."

In case you are unaware, he has been screwing people on Social Security from the day he stepped into office. He has blocked cost of living increases multiple times for several years at a time to the elderly and the disabled who have no other means of support and depend on it.

Social Security should NEVER have happened. If that many Americans are too stupid to know what to do with their money, then they deserve the worlds greatest PONZI scheme. SICK,SICK,SICK... Totally against the Godly principles that made America Great.

What do people expect when you let some one else tend your garden.

"Social Security should NEVER have happened." I agree.

On the other hand unions threatening employers and demanding higher wages are also contrary to scriptural policy. And so are union pension plans which are the same scheme on a smaller scale. Then you have banking which is usury against the command to lend to your brother without profit. And the stock market that raises profit through speculation which is also extracting money from your brother by inflating prices to gain interest. After all, money does not simply multiply itself like rabbits.. Money always needs a scheme to take money from someone else to increase. I guess one could invest their money in stocks or bonds, but that is also usury which is also forbidden. Anything making money from money is usury, such as credit card bonuses which unduly penalize someone who doesn't pay on time. (They certainly do not dig into their own profits to give those bonuses) So I guess the only way to save for retirement is to hoard your money and save it for a rainy day. But then doesn't the Bible teach not to horde anything but rather to trust in the Lord for all your needs? For it says we work so that we can give to the brother in need, isn't that right? So which of these makes one person holier than the other concerning his retirement plan?

No Gary, money is not evil, until it is used for evil. Guns are not evil, until they are used for evil, men are not evil... Until they are used for evil.

Money Is The Root of All Evil, this is a passage from the Bible.. non-believers might think differently.. oink, oink.. ha ha

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

No Glen,

The post had not the slightest hint about money being either evil or good, not a single word or an implication. The whole post was about schemes men use to get money which was in response to your statements about social security. It said absolutely nothing about the nature of money. .

Social Security is the only income I've had during a lengthy illness. I paid into it for 50 years. Not to mention the taxes they've stolen from me at gunpoint. (hint- they've stolen well over a million bucks from me)

It is not an entitlement - it is my f**k money. i get sick of hearing that crap about how it's welfare. the pittance those pigs send me will never equal what I paid into their disgusting facade of government.

Do I agree with socialist ponzi schemes? Certainly not in principle. Do I live in a world that is absolutely cockeyed in every way? yep. It's time to stop pretending we live in a republic, or by rule of law. Look around and tell me what you see. It ain't that and hasn't been for a long long time. Just a big game.

If you have better idea how I can afford an occasional peanut butter and jelly sandwich please hold forth.
