there seems to be a bit of confusion over the social security issue.  is it a “problem”, a “crisis”, or neither?  and, honestly, i’m not sure that i know myself.

here are two places to start:

from kathleen hays @ cnn: Straight talk on Social Security

Tired of partisan rhetoric, Hays turned to Government Accountability Office chief David Walker.

from the social security administration: About Social Security’s Future

read their faq here.

based on these *two* articles, there is a problem with social security…but not a crisis.  as i find other articles on the issue, i’ll post them as well.

Eight years ago I moved to Salt Lake with very little. My son, my computer and my car. The rest of what I had fit in my car. Clothing. Nothing else. That was it. Six months later we still hadn’t accumulated much more. So it was a devastating loss when the car broke down that last time. With no money to fix it I had to let it go. My only option was public transportation.

You know you’re in trouble when you turn on the cold water faucet and what comes out is hot water for the first three or four minutes.  Its supposed to be 102F here today.  That’s pretty hot. And I have two cats. Complete with fur. How do they stay cool in the summer? We always hear how someone left a dog in a car and they had a heat stroke but what about our cats?

What do beans and left over salad have in common? Both can be tossed into a burrito for a cheap, filling meal.

Plasma donation. I does it.
