Retired Investor

Social Security Reform #SocialSecurity Proposal to triple benefits for citizens For those entering the workforce, a new one time choice 1. Privatize Social Security & allow citizens to invest funds in pre approved investments 2. Stay in current system Move all non retirement benefits such as disability or other programs out of Social Security to general government programs supported by tax revenue Investment Options for Choice 1: 70% in Total Stock Market Index Fund 30% in Aggregate Bond Market Index Fund Fee cap of 0.05% & no ability for government to mandate where investment dollars go To be clear, index includes an estimate of all stocks and bonds in the US markets - no segmentation, leverage or sub targeting allowed Rules for distributions are the same as IRAs (Required Minimum Distributions or RMD) At death, remaining money rolls to beneficiaries (same rules as current IRAs) No emergency withdrawals allowed Benefits : Increases retirement income dramatically (more than 3 times greater) & eliminates the challenge of funding a defined benefit retirement plan There will never be a drain on the federal government finances from Social Security again for those in private plans Example : Assuming your invest social security taxes for an individual into the 70% stock / 30% bond portfolio with returns well below historical levels of 7% for stocks & 3% for bonds, total payouts of benefits would be 3.2 times the benefits that the individual would receive in the current social security system Average annual return for the S&P 500 has been 12.9% in my working lifetime & total bond market aggregate has been 6.1% return annually Challenges : Educate voters - new requirement to educate students & students must pass test prior to graduation Transition costs as young workers transition out of the current system (although it is a current commitment so there is no real change - just following through on past commitments) Convincing government that giving up control of citizens social security is acceptable (it is citizens money but government controls our money right now) @WaysandMeansGOP @SocialSecurity

@Hunter_Eagleman @EstergrenSue @LeaderJohnThune What is his reason? They must have some big time blackmail material on him or the bribes are extreme

🚨UNBELIEVABLE! Today @LeaderJohnThune just decided to shut down the Senate and send everyone home until early June with ZERO warning. No recess appointments. No Save America Act. No ICE or border funding bill. This was NOT a pre-planned break. It was called by Leader Thune himself!.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ He’s FAILED Americans again and will be on another 10 day vacay!!

@alluringmedia LOL - Smith made up charges with direction from democrat leadership & globalist leaders He was hired to do whatever it took to get a conviction regardless of facts or the law There is absolutely no evidence of your claims

Never forget Jack Smith held more than enough evidence to convict him for the Capitol insurrection and the illegal retention of classified documents. Trump knew he would face prison time because he had ZERO chance of beating Harris. He solicited the help of Musk to facilitate malware on the tabulators that changed the outcome of the votes. TRUMP DID NOT WIN THOSE SWING STATES.

It was early 2011 and the valuation was around $50 billion Earnings were about $600 million with forward earnings estimate of $1 billion From what I recall, their plan was to double revenue every year forever At the time, I found it hard to believe that it was possible to hit this growth by selling ads on Facebook which was more basic than it is now I was wrong but at the time it seemed impossible to me

@CommunityBnkInv @JaguarAnalytics What was the Facebook valuation?

$SPCX Highlights of $1.75 trillion company: -- 2025 sales $18.7 bn -- 2025 operating loss $2.6 bn -- 1Q26 sales $4.7 bn -- 1Q26 operating loss $1.9 bn You are cordially invited to take out 2nd mortgage and buy on margin at 93x 2025 sales. S-1 filing: sec.gov/Archives/edgar…

@DudeWhoInvests Free cash flow was almost $50 billion this quarter and is scaling higher at an almost exponential rate 75% gross margin holding Immense cash generation machine now How long will the $NVDA ride last?

JUST IN: NVIDIA $NVDA has officially saved the world from imploding by beating earnings today.

@JayneZirkle @BillAckman @NYCMayor is obviously anti Israel so this is no surprise Expect more of this from the left - more open in their hatred

Zohran Mamdani just became the first NYC mayor in 61 years to skip the Israel Day Parade. Every mayor since 1964 showed up. Mamdani won’t stand with Jewish New Yorkers.

@DarrigoMelanie Amazon - a company he founded paid almost $20 billion of income taxes in 2025

Jeff Bezos paid $500M for his super-yacht and $75M for his super-yacht’s mini-yacht — both of which he’s allowed to write-off on his taxes. That alone would cover $180 in classroom supplies for every public school teacher in the U.S.

@DarrigoMelanie Write off on taxes? Do you know what that means?

@JeffBezos No one should be paying income taxes but here we are with massive govt spending - with no control over fraud and waste If we are going to spend so much, we each should share in this burden to remind everyone that govt isn't free Income redistribution through govt makes no sense

Zero out taxes for the bottom half of earners. A nurse in Queens shouldn’t be sending money to Washington. Washington should be sending her an apology.

@MOSSADil Of course they did Virtue signal club members

UK, Germany and Greece join condemnations of Israeli treatment of flotilla activists.

@krassenstein Democrat party directive to their paid operatives today is to use "Epstein Class" to try to degrade Trump LOL - coming from the left who worked closely with Epstein for decades and protected him

Thomas Massie is one of the most conservative congressmen in the Republican Party. If you were a republican and you were voting against him, it’s not because of your political views, but because you want to protect the Epstein class. To all the people endorsing his opponent, thanks for uncovering the fact that you don’t support Epstein’s victims.

Yes - it would be an interesting exercise to now theorize who else was involved and research any ways to find ties to Kerkoff from intelligence agencies or politicians or NGOs Did she attend any events, conferences or does she have social media contacts of note? Did she do any political contributions? What is on her resume if you can find it to see where she worked and possible connections there? Did she do private security on the side with anyone? Did anyone make public comments about the pipe bomber that seem to be too specific (with the benefit of hindsight - comments made in the first year or 2 after the event) I know the CIA scrubbed much of this public history when she went to for them but she took direction from someone

Very good questions that I ask myself every day. Since day 1, in 2021, the FBI has acted like this was an intelligence operation, altering the framerate of videos and controlling the narrative at every degree. Then, all of a sudden, they become open lipped on Cole, but won't say a thing about the lingering questions and mystery surrounding the J6 Pipe Bomber. For that, it's the same spook act that we saw in 2021.

@SethAbramson lol

I understand that America isn't a functioning democracy, or even a democracy at all. I understand Trump is building a bunker under a property we own so he can live there after he declares martial law and makes himself king. I'll still say that he should be impeached by tonight.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

@LePapillonBlu2 The really interesting question is who is the person who did this? Who are the others who broke these windows? Were they ever arrested? Did others try to stop them? Hint - they were not arrested - but grandmothers who strolled with the crowd were put in prison pending trial

Congress just gave Donald Trump $1.7 billion dollars so he can make these criminals rich. Let that sink in.

@Poli_Millenial Trans hispanic nazi shooter targeting muslims The cross currents in this tragedy are complex for the politically correct religion How can media taint their opponents with this?

Dems coming out in droves w/statements against “Islamophobia” after the San Diego mosque “sho0ting” (no one died except the shooters & security guard, who is a hero) But you NEVER see this kind of response when trans ppl shoot up churches & they ki|l mult kids I wonder why…🤔

@JonLemire Biden could't talk, didn't know where he was, worked few hours, travelled infrequently, spoke rarely and was severely cognitively impaired Trump works long hours, is articulate, does press conferences daily, travels aggressively with endless energy Obvious difference

NEW: The Newest Oldest President Donald Trump has not faced the same scrutiny for his age as Joe Biden did. For now. But as Trump is poised to turn 80 next month, questions about his health and increasingly erratic behavior are growing theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

Doesn't matter who the money goes to, the damages claimed from leaking tax returns would never amount to that number Returns showed what any real estate investor would reveal anyway - not a big surprise And it is not the right time to do this - conflict of interesting is obvious Did the IRS leak this info? Yes... it was one employee & this settlement is insane

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Mass Third World illegal immigration... One political side encourages lawlessness & gives large free benefits in exchange for votes... while the other tries to enforce the law

@WarMonitor3 Mass Third World immigration to the west. Men playing women’s sports.

Whats a completely normal thing that would be considered insane 100 years ago?

@RealJamesWoods Biden said once that he and Obama built the largest voter fraud operation in US history. He meant it and it was not a mistake. youtu.be/MA8a2g6tTp0?si…

Quite the contrary. It was unequivocally a fraudulent election. It makes perfect sense if you face the facts.

@MittRomney I feel better that he lost now - was not aware that you support him

The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character. Bill Cassidy’s departure is a loss for the country.
