Major BS from Obama: GOP wants to destroy social security
2010-08-15 18:21:00 President Barack Obama drags out an old chestnut: Republicans want to destroy social security. What decade is President Barack Obama living in? If there's a Republican who wants to get rid of social security, he hasn't dared to show up in public. None of my Republican friends--many of them on society security--would do away with it either.But Obama hasn't time traveled back to the 1930s, when some Republicans indeed opposed social security. He's making another dishonest argument to scare the wits out of his brain-dead base, that Republicans would roll us back to the days of Calvin Collidge. The Republican proposal to allow individuals to buy into 401ks with their money is designed to save social security, not destroy it. But,...

Insolvent Social Security and America's Saturn/Neptune
2009-12-15 16:57:00 Gary North's article on the insolvency of the US Social Security *System and Medicare is an eye opener well described astrologically by the recent transit of clear-eyed Saturn to US natal Neptune in Virgo, sign of Work and The Worker.But I mentioned the transit and more Saturn/Neptune stuff in my previous post - things like deception and corruption (Neptune) in government (Saturn) - read Mr. North's article for a laundry list of deceptions concerning SS, Medicare, and the political can-kicking they've long duped us with. He's talking about 'Social' (Neptune) 'Security' (Saturn)! You know the US natal chart, Sibly version with '13Sag' rising, has Neptune 22Vir25 in 9th house and Saturn 14Lib48 in 10th house and their midpoint degree is 3Lib37; Mc 00Lib53. Tr Saturn in early Libra is stimulating our Sat/Nep midpoint off and on as I type. Perhaps Gary North is one of those now acting as Saturn's agent (a man with a bucket of cold water) as he asks us to deal realistically w...

Retirement milestones by Age
2008-08-28 04:54:00 There are a number of age milestones on the road to retirement. These are points in your life at which you become eligible for a special status or privilege which you were not entitled to until then.I have tried to list all age milestones that apply to typical American retirees below. Even if you are not close to retiring, it is good to know what lies ahead. It is also interesting to see what the implication of these milestones are for someone who wants to retire early.Age 50:At 50, you are eligible to start making "catch-up" contributions to 401(k) and IRA accounts. For IRAs, in 2008, you can invest an additional $1,000 over the $5,000 limit. For 401(k) and 403(b) plans, you can contribute $5,000 above the $15,500 limit in 2008.One way to look at this milestone is that if you haven't saved a significant amount for retirement by age 50, this should serve as a wake-up call. Even the IRS thinks that it is time for you to get your act together. For those who are on track with their ...
