Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). This doesn't include the 4% of people 34-65 who worked & contributed but passed away before they were ever able to draw payments. And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

Social security benefits were never supposed to be taxed! Congress got greedy and wanted to keep us impoverished.

if the Flyers get swept by Carolina that really just embarrasses Pittsburgh even more if you think about it.

My assessed property value went up $43,300 from last year to this year. I made no improvements to the outside of my house. No structural changes to the inside. Whhhhhyyyy did it go up that much????? Also, property taxes are ridiculous and should not exist.

So the Pittsburgh Pirates are now 18-16 and believe it or not they are still in last place of the NL Central. Pretty crazy. They are 3.5 games back of the Cubs. As for the wildcard standings they are 2.5 games back, 4 other teams are tied and ahead of them. NL looks solid so far.

I want a truck with no GPS or tracking. I want a house that doesn't spy on me. I want a government that builds roads and maintains the military and stays out of my business. I want the constitution of the United States respected and upheld. I want the government to be the last thing I ever think about, just like the founders intended.

Carmen Mlodzinski just gave up a HR, now 5-3 Pirates. As long as he is on the mound no lead is safe. Again this should have been addressed during the offseason, why was Ben Cherington content on allowing Mlodzinski to start again this season? Terrible smh.

It’s time to have a serious conversation about Drew Allar. Young raw. Dripping with football talent. Just turned 22 never played QB till his sophomore year of high school. No elite coaching. His head coach ruined another surefire 1st rd pick years earlier 3 OCs in 2 years. Bad scheme for his skill set. Everybody knew it but the bad HC. Very little talent around him. No WRs drafted in the NFL. His best receiver was a TE. Two 5th rd picks for running backs. Set records for least amount of INTs while at Penn State. Even with all those obstacles he won 10 games his first season and almost made the national championship game in his 2nd season winning 13 games. Was going to be a first rd pick till an injury ended his senior season. Allar is big and Strong. A cross between Big Ben and Josh Allen. He has one of the best arms in the NFL currently. If Mike McCarthy can fix some minor mechanic issues the Steelers may have just found their next Franchise QB.

@kelsey_surmacz4 Respectfully disagree. Edmonton did it with Gretzky, The Islanders also after their Cups! It’s not about making the playoffs it’s about winning championships. Look at the stat for how many players have won Cups after age 30. Small list.

@dcoffeeman "Major reason for playoff drought" What do you think would have happened had they jettisoned the core? Playoff drought would still be happening and would be much, much longer.

The Cardinals pose the biggest threat to the Steelers for Aaron Rodgers' services this year. They need a QB more than anyone, just hired Rodgers' best friend as their new OC, their head coach is Matt LaFleur's brother, and they have an influx of weapons. They're the competition.

You really do need to ask yourself if the Oilers pissing away Connor McDavid's 20's is the worst mismanagement of a generational talent in North American sports history.

@JoshYohe_PGH Just made an excellent argument for the Penguins to get younger now. Not run it back again. That stat more than any other is why Hockey is referred to as the Boys Of Winter. Not the middle aged men of Winter.

Connor McDavid will be in his 30’s the next time he plays in the playoffs. A list of the best players ever and their ages when they last won a Cup: Gordie Howe, 27 Bobby Orr, 24 Wayne Gretzky, 27 Mario Lemieux, 26 Sidney Crosby, 29 Alex Ovechkin, 32 Jaromir Jagr, 20 McDavid?
