We can only settle the question of the validity of his speech through democratic means. VOTE I SAY!

One of my friends who lives on the other side of the country, was in a Starbucks during the address. A vagrant man came in, he said, and started yelling 'THE PREZ-AH-DENT is on the RAY-D-OH.'

Can't everything be settled accurately through this flawless process? I'm so glad the future of my country is determined by the whims of the common folk.

Obama has brokered a major deal whereby unemployed MBAs and Electrical Engineers can get jobs as greeters at Wal-Mart.

Now I bet all you feel like a gaggle of jackasses. Especially BBS.

I wondering why BBS hasn't told us all about the virtues of the MyRA announced by Obama in the State of the Disunion address?

Our buddy, Jack Lew (sounds like a trolling gamer tag, doesn't it?) our Sec of the Treasury, will be having a letter published in certain newspapers around the country telling us all about this new government retirement program. Mr Lew explains that for a one time contribution of $25 and then $5 a week one would have his nest egg secured.

I can't wait! At $25 + $5 a week for 30 years I'll have a grand total of $7,825 plus interest! Yippee yaw! One should be able to retire easily on that.

Wait, a second, my accountant is telling me something....
What? the rate of return will be around 1.47% and inflation is at 2.08%? So I'd actually be losing money?

Hmmm, well, I suppose I'll have to put a lot more in than just the minimum.
Wait, my accountant is telling me something else....
What? $15,000 is the maximum that can be accumulated? Well that's no good. And at that point I'd have to transfer that money to a traditional IRA that would have been earning a higher rate all the while anyway? Why the hell would I put money into the MyRA?

Oh, that's a good point. At least the MyRA gives a better rate of return than a savings account at a bank. I guess one could just use the MyRA as saving for future consumption rather than saving for future retirement.

But what's the point of the MyRA anyway? Is this the beginning of the "If you like your retirement plan you can keep it" deal?
(Que BBS if he cares at all).

Jack Lew's entire upcoming op-ed to be published in McClatchy media group's outlets on 1/31/2014 (emphasis mine)

show


Haha, and a look at the picture of the alternate reality that these people live in. Hilarity (along with tears and gnashing of teeth) soon to follow.

As much as all state of the union addresses and their counters are political garbage, your insults are beneath you.

Insults show lack of intelligence and understanding, not power.

BBS - were you trying to show power?

I didn't watch and didn't care all that much. Is he still banging the drum for more US manufacturing jobs?

Humor chuck schumer!

On an unrelated note, I just caught a bit of the president's 'Google Hangout' with people across the country asking him questions -- one woman from the East Coast talked about the less than pleasant rollout of the Affordable Care Act, thought she sort of danced around how much it was 'bungled.' Obama said, 'There is no need to pussyfoot around, the rollout wasn't great.'

I liked that he said pussyfoot. Obama 2016.
