You're NEVER going to see it and you're not going to get those benefits you paid for either. <br /><br />As for being able to invest it better? Dream on. <br /><br />Trump's Cabinet picks are going to crash this economy worse than 2008, worse then the Great Depression. You invest any of that money you are going to lose it. <br /><br />I would suggest simply sewing it into your mattress because at least it could afford a little padding to your aging mattress. We are going to end up bringing wheelbarrow loads of bills to the store to buy a loaf of bread. <br /><br />Even buying Euros won't protect you as once the U.S. economy tanks, we'll take the rest of the world with us. <br /><br />I think the only thing we can do is sit back and patiently wait, then when the Deplorables start to scream bloody murder, remind them of their choice and scream back "TOLD YOU SO!"

As you can imagine, there is a very large volume of websites, so occasionally something is inadvertently missed.”<br /><br />Breitbart did not immediately return a request for comment. Its executive chairman, Steve Bannon, has been named chief strategist and senior counselor to President-elect Donald Trump.<br /><br />Kellogg is only the latest company to sever relations with Breitbart, whose incendiary headlines include “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive And Crazy” and “Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew.” Last week, the massive ad distributor AppNexus deactivated Breitbart’s access to its advertising tools. Other companies to pull advertising from the site include Allstate, Nest, EarthLink, Warby Parker and SoFi, Bloomberg reported. "<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kellogg-breitbart_us_583db639e4b04b66c01bde6a?section=us_politics<br /><br />And so the pushback also begins. <br /><br />Can we get advertisers to drop Breitbart? Remember when the LimpBall lost all his advertising? <br /><br />Time to make a list and support companies that are humane to PEOPLE. Those that offer a living wage and healthcare. <br /><br />Businesses that support Trump are probably treating their employees and even their customers deplorably. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-70788142981719083652016-11-29T19:55:08.990-09:002016-11-29T19:55:08.990-09:00Just sue to get what you paid in.

Many years ago, a friend calculated that his mother-in-law had gone past all that she had invested in Social Security in her first six years of retirement; after that, she was benefitting from the big pot. I'm frankly horrified at the prospect of seeing the end of Social Security - in part because I'm now over 70, in part because of the damage it will cause all those whose disabilities prevent them from being able to work, in part because so many working-class Americans (most of us) don't have significant enough savings to go it alone. You won't either unless you're rich now. Imagine the damage that the economy will suffer when the "return-to-the-gold-standard" guy is in charge of the Treasury Department. And then there's the privatization of Medicare; enjoy that. I'm not. We pay over $800. per month for our supplemental. That supplemental covers the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover. And all of the medical bills submitted to Medicare end up with really significant cuts in what providers are paid. Take away Medicare and we're all on our own. Not a good plan but then they're Republicans and they don't care about their fellow citizens once they've popped out of the womb.<br />BeaglemomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-83054139537479731232016-11-29T15:59:41.034-09:002016-11-29T15:59:41.034-09:00Dream on, 3:13!
