(37,305 posts)101. How irresponsible of you to say the cuts upon expiration of the trust fund are a lie!
That is so deceptive and wrong and misleading and just as bad as any crappy used car salesman!
Shame shame shame on you!
If the cuts happen you are partly responsible if people are misled.
What is wrong with you? You could be helping people to make better decisions that will benefit them in life. Instead you give false assertions that you should know by now are untrue.
Well I feel I've done my part to try to educate people on how it all works. You have to live with yourself if you lead people down the wrong path.
You are acting no better than any real estate salesperson who told some sucker that they could afford that house and they could refinance because housing prices always go up.

So, where is the substance to this opinion? How is Manny's first sentence an 'insult and a lie'.

It's the same as thousands, literally thousands, of other OPs by Manny. It's his thing.

SS does not add a nickel to the deficit, the only reason it's being attacked is to destroy it.

Knowing doesn't stop the flailing. It just seems to make it more desperate.
