Competence Graveyard - Social Security

From the Files of Michael Shannon

Many baby boomers are rightly worried about the solvency of the Social Security Administration.

Even if the system has the money there is no guarantee the check will arrive.

Social Security sends money to people who are dead while at the same time balancing the equation by declaring the living to be dead and cutting off their access to the system.

It's government efficiency at its finest.

Informed Voters: The best ethics commission

When the family moved to Dallas, just prior to my junior year of high school, my parents enrolled me in Highland Park High School, an uppity establishment proud that "disposable income" was its middle name.

Relatives of one of my classmates tried to corner the silver market. I’m friends with a guy who owns a private island. A female classmate was the granddaughter of the founders of 7/11. And I think another acquaintance’s family financed the Kennedy assassination.

Professionally I've known people wealthy enough to start foundations that — in contrast to the Clinton foundation — give away their own money.

Yet in all that time not one of these plutocrats has seen fit to give me a $6500 watch or take my wife on a $15,000 shopping spree. But then I've never been elected governor either. New job, instant new friends.

What a dilemma.

Details on the problem and handy guidelines on how politicians can avoid jail are featured in the Shannon column at Newsmax.

Tom Coburn Will Be Missed By Conservatives

Tom Coburn Will Be Missed By Conservatives from the files of Michael Shannon

Meet Tom Coburn

This is Senator Tom Coburn's last year in the Senate.

It would have been his last term anyway, because he's an honorable man and adheres to his term limits promise.

He first ran for the congressional seat held by Mike Synar.

I would not have supported Coburn because at that time I was a deluded Democrat. Fortunately I changed and he didn't.

Complete details are at the Shannon Newsmax Insider column.
