LOL Ayn Rand: Scott McConnell's Oral History of Ayn Rand"Scott McConnell's Oral History of Ayn Rand" here includes an interview with a consultant of the Atlas Shrugged author and founder of the Objectivism cult, who details how she helped the artist formerly known as Alisa Zinovievna Rosenbaum get on the public tit. Noted speed freak, serial-killer fangirl, and Tea Party hero Ayn Rand was also a kleptoparasite, sneakily gobbling up taxpayer funds under an assumed name to pay for her medical treatments after she got lung cancer. An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured Rand's Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor). As Pryor said, "Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn and she could be totally wiped out" without the aid of these two government programs. Ayn took the bail out even though Ayn "despised government interference and felt that people should and could live independently... She didn't feel that an individual should take help." ^^from Mark Frauenfelrder at Boingboing here LOL TEABAGGERS. |

I waver between thinking you are a conservative troll or a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad. Just for the moment, I am going to take you seriously. I would not be surprised if a few years ago you were asking "can we put our ss money into real estate". After all real estate prices only go up, right? Right? Well, as we have seen, not always. Same with gold. Let's say that you take a certain portion of your salary each year and buy gold at the market rate. As long as the value of gold has gone up when you are ready to retire, you would be in good shape. In those first few years as everyone is using their social security money to buy gold, prices would go up. So, things would look good. But, as people who had bought gold started to retire, they would put more gold on the market. Then, the price would likely drop. Unless you are in the first group to sell, you would find yourself in the position of having bought high and now being forced to sell low. All of a sudden, Glen Beck doesn't look so clever anymore. This is not to mention the effect of inflation or the ability of people/institutions/nations to manipulate the price of gold. The fact of the matter is that social security is not in a crisis. Not even close. The same people that took garbage mortgage securities, sprinkled magic powder on them, and made a mint, then got bailed out by our tax dollars and are now making another mint would love to get their money on the social security funds. They are clearly believers in the maxim, "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." I have confidence that the American people will prove them wrong. |

| No the government is in a crisis. It is a ponzi scheme far greater than anything Madoff could ever dream. The dollar is being deliberately devalued. Gold is normally a terrible investment but it is very good right now because once you have it, nobody knows how much you have. Nobody can get their hooks into you. Any other asset makes you a target, and as long as they print money, it will go up. Everybody knows the game here. We can't pay our debt so we will "pay" with devalued dollars that we print and in the process steal from everybodys savings/investments that are valued in dollars. |
