The problem will always be the inconvenient massive unfunded liability for accrued OASDI benefits.
Even if they did $10k it still doesn’t get you very far.
The CFP full employment plan…
Or are they going to let individuals self manage them because everyone can beat wall street?
Australia’s sort of got something like this with their superannuation scheme. Most people have to go into industry super funds. Basically, there’s an investment manager for everyone in a particular field. You pick one of I think it was 6-8 funds. There’s a way of getting into a self-directed plan, but I think it’s you have to change fields.
In this scheme, your employer directly contributes an amount equivalent to at least 9 or 12% of your gross salary (so separate from your salary) to the superfund and that’s yours. You select your level of risk, but can’t really access your money until a minimum of age 60. In Australia, the preferred plan is you take all your money out at age 60, pay for massive house renos and then rely on the full aged pension because you have no money.
Yeah, but if you were only allowed to make blue chip investments like Trump coin or Melania coin people are saying the returns would be the greatest ever seen.

Almost feels like we should just make a “Pedophiles in Politics” thread to keep from filling this one up.

The charges are particularly jarring in light of Scott Soucek’s public online persona. On Facebook, he repeatedly portrayed himself as a staunch defender of conservative values and posted extensively about issues like child trafficking and moral decay.
In an October 2024 lengthy Facebook post, he wrote: “I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking… I’m voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms and their future.”
Soucek’s Facebook activity includes memes accusing President Joe Biden of groping children, pro-Trump conspiracies, and attacks on Democrats, whom he urged to “leave the country” if they believed Trump resembled a dictator or Hitler.
Stephanie Soucek has not commented publicly on her husband’s arrest. On social media, she has previously posted a meme featuring convicted child trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, suggesting Democrats were shielding Epstein’s clients.
Somehow, not a drag queen.
That we know of.
Three days after state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione announced he was dropping his reelection bid, the conservative news site Current Revolt published an interview with a former exotic dancer who alleges she had a 17-year affair with the Southlake Republican.
The woman, Alex Grace, alleges that Capriglione paid her for “meetups” and “funded several abortions for his own personal gain.”
In 2021, Capriglione carried the “trigger ban” that allowed Texas to ban nearly all abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a result of that bill, performing an abortion in Texas is punishable by up to life in prison. Other laws supported by Capriglione made it a civil offense to “aid and abet” in a prohibited abortion, including paying for someone to terminate their pregnancy in Texas.
Grace alleged that when she was 18 years old, with a young child at home, she started working as an exotic dancer to make money. In 2004, she said, Capriglione came into the club where she was working and stood out as “a very straight-laced businessman.” He came in every few weeks and they developed a relationship.
“[My wife and I] moved past it and have the strong marriage we do today,” he said. “Their grace, and God’s, is something for which I am grateful every day. I’m a different man than I was because of it.”
Redefine babies as dogs. Problem solved.

“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore,” Greene told the Daily Mail. “The course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”
“I just don’t care anymore,” she added.
While Greene steered clear of criticizing President Donald Trump directly, she took issue with the White House rescinding Elise Stefanik’s nomination for United Nations ambassador[…]
“I think there’s other women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women,” Greene added. “I think there’s other women, Republican women, and I’m just giving my opinion here, who are really sick and tired of them.”
Greene has indeed been busy since the start of the current House session, spearheading efforts on such burning questions of national interest as renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” introducing legislation to make English the official language, defunding NPR and PBS, and criminalizing “deadly” weather manipulation.
She further told the Mail Saturday she only wishes the GOP would renew its focus on curbing foreign aid, using the Department of Government Efficiency to slash federal spending, decreasing the national debt, and combating inflation.
Who wants to bet we’ve found our first politician who’s been purchased for the American Party? MTG is pliable and has always been tolerated on the outskirts of the GOP. She’s flirted with being in Trump’s good graces but has never quite been inner circle, and currently they don’t seem especially close.
If the American Party ends up going anywhere, I predict this is her soft off-ramp to there.
The fuckin’ Gobs Of Pedophiles Party!!

Please tell me this is fake news.
Nope seems to be supported by multiple sites. anti-trans congressman is pro-statutory rape if he’s related to the creep.
The incident was between an 18 year-old and a 13 year-old. The article also observes:
The legislation in question is here: SB0213 (scroll down to line 506).
“Truth is stranger than fiction” as one of your countrymen correctly pointed out.

It’s Utah. Aren’t they all related?
Of course she is Andy Biggs’ daughter.
Convicted felon Ghislaine Maxwell found no reason whatsoever to be concerned by the actions of Donald Trump in her presence.
Therefore, Trump is completely innocent, because a serial sex trafficker saw no reason for concern.
Maxwell has already been moved to the “Club Fed” minimum-security prison. Wonder if that’ll be the extent of the deal. Trump has obviously laid some groundwork to excuse her pardoning if he chooses to.
