what was the best time in American history?

There are some pretty cool advancements in the works right now in medical tech. Even if none of them come to fruition, you could see a dramatic rise in life expectancy and a drop in medical expenses if we simply took the step as a nation to combat obesity.

They have been speculating about a dramatic rise in life expectancy since I was old enough to read. It's all speculation and mostly science fiction. If it were to ever happen, it would follow the basic outline (socio-economically) of what we already see happening with life expectancy, except it would be much more dramatic.

the technology has increased the life expectancy... the problem is that at the same time we have become more and more obese as a nation, which is reducing life expectancy.

Technology has increased life expectancy at birth, and any gains seen in life expectancy after age 65 have been much smaller and dependent upon education, class, socio-economic status, income.

No Rune... they will have the same amount of money, just less purchasing power.

Semantics, dipshit? Of course they will have less purchasing power, but only the very wealthy will still be able to afford all their needs.

More dis-ingenuous bullshit, but of course, that is what you are good at.

it will have the same effect on everyone, billionaires will simply be able to weather the storm better.

Exactly, thankyou, and yet, you are still being dishonest, because billionaire will feel no actual effect at all. Their balance sheets will just read differently.

So, what exactly is your point?

Are you pleased about a situation that the Fed is creating, that will allow billionaires to thrive & the rest of America to suffer?

I'm not sure what Sanders' proposal is, but one of the first things I'd say is to drop the limit on income that's subject to social security.

So no cap in other words?

So with the higher taxes would those paying them be receiving that money at retirement or do you envision it going back into the system?

and an example of what you claim is what year?


you see this is where your idiot ideas are proven to be idiot ideas.


Name what you think was the BEST time in the US and why
 
The best time in American history was when Nadine Bettinger, the hot red head who lived upstairs from me in my apartment building came down one night after I had just finished the second shift at work. I had just gotten out of the shower and put my PJ's on when there was a knock on the door. Nadine was there wearing a trench coat (it was spring time with the usual cold wet weather) and was all dolled up. She told me that she had just been stood up for a date and new I was up and wanted to come talk and have a beer. So I invited her in. Then I offered to take her coat, as gentleman should. I assisted her in taking her coat off and all she was wearing was a black satin bustier with garter belt silk stockings and a pair of heels.

That was the best day in America ever.....well at least for me it was! :)

I assume the monthly payments would increase as well although on a slower scale.

I would say no cap, but could accept a cap around 300K.
