Confronting Reality

With humor we can make people laugh.  With humor we can uplift spirits.  With humor we can also make people think; think about the good, the bad and the ugly.


Setting aside the constitutionality of Social Security and political ideology, let us draw our attention to the fact that under the law of Social Security the federal government has no legal authority to pay any Social Security benefits if it cannot afford to do so.  Let me rephrase: when, not if, the federal government can no longer pay Social Security benefits, then those who have been forced to pay into the system for their working life will not receive their money back.  In our book, Vigilance The Price of Liberty, we explain this issue of the unsustainability of government entitlement programs in an effort to promote honest and non-partisan debate of the issue.
