Projections again? When was the last time your projections were right? How much in tax revenue are we collecting from the millions unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers?
I made no use of projections. S.S. is sound from an actuarial perspective until 2027, ceteris paribus.
Never said it was beating the market averages because that would be a lie.
Reading comprehension error on your behalf; you said
conservative said:I see, so your return on your "investment" in SS is generating the kind of return you would generate without it and then having that investment your Money?
Since i never made any mentioning in any thread about SS returns on investment vs my personal investing, you felt the need to use the strawman fallacy because you are out of ammunition.
Declining labor force growth isn't going to have much effect, is it? Good luck on those projections which have yet to be right
The labor force will not face static structural imbalances indefinitely.
No question about it, I only hope that I can become half as smart as you think you are. Your financial analysis doesn't put food on the table or people in housing.
You don't know what an actuary is.
Financial analysis puts food on my table and pays for my house(s).
How is debt financed again and what interest rate? I would have thought someone as smart as you think you are would understand debt financing and interest rates better.
The stock of debt will not be impacted by a change in interest rates; only new debt will be sensitive to such an environment. Here is the caveat; interest rates will not rise without the requisite economic growth.
Isn't that great, Obama and liberalism has so much invested in poor economic growth and high unemployment. Both keep interest rates and inflation low
Non-response. I am judging it is because you don't know how to read the graph. :shrug:
Record low interest rates certainly aren't having any affect on the economy, are they?
We are finally emerging from a liquidity trap. Housing has been booming throughout 2013, which is part of the reason we are beginning to see an uptick on medium to long term interest rates. Low interest rates lower the cost of adding additional capital.
Think the Fed loves seeing interest rates this low? Must be an indication of the booming economy
This is the aftermath of the worst economic downturn in 80 years.
That is a lie, Debt was 16.2 trillion beginning of fiscal year 2013 and today it is 16.8 trillion dollars. Need help with the math? I would have thought someone as smart as you would understand that the fiscal year of the U.S. runs from October 1 to Sept. 30. Guess not so maybe you learned something today?
I wasn't referencing the fiscal year; only the accumulated deficits during Obama's tenure as President. Since he has been into office, the federal deficit has fallen every year by double digit percentages.
Because they didn't exist
Of course they did. The data that validates my point can be found here. Accumulated deficits are the codomain of debt.
Too bad you lack any street sense.
Your perception of my street sense is of no value. You do not know me. I can however depict from the knowledge and familiarity with regards to your posting history that you have no business discussing such topics. You simply lack the comprehension of the terminology and the ability to analyze even the most basic data.
