social insecurity



The social security system is an idea that the government came up with that were after a person has reached a certain age they can retire from working and collect a check each month for average living expenses based on how much they have pain in taxes over the years. social security is a good idea for the elderly because of all there years of working they can collect and take it easy after there many years of employment. the governments idea for trying to fix social security is raising the retirement age so there for not as many people would collect income from social security which would result in the government saving money for the time being until they can figure out a plan to further fix it. making the retirement age older would mean that people would have to work even longer and in the long run pay more in taxes.



I would have to say that I agree with my topic on terms that social security is running out and that it needs to be fixed so that the younger generation can have the same things that were offered to the older generation. in my opinion social security should have been fixed along time ago when they knew it was a problem and still chose to do nothing about it to change it, even tho there was ideas they were never followed threw because the government kept putting it off. the american prospect has the same opinion as i do when it comes to social insecurity in how we need to find a solution.

google shows off chrome OS tablet ideas

i thought the new google tablet took it up a step when they showed the preview of whats to come in technology, it raised alot of questions as to what other competitors were goin to put out on the table to counter act with google. i think the google tablet will become one of the most popular cp's out there in the shortest matter of time. it caught my attention and got me interested in what else might follow the tablet.

doctors in haiti

in the news artical, i thought it was very interesting that according to the doctors from where they came from they were treated like stars, people looked up to them and had no choice but to respect them for there profession. but when the doctors arrived in haiti and they have innocent people dieng in there hands because of the lack of electronics or surgeon tools they soon realise they were just another person. no one had to respect them or give them a pad on the back, to the people of haiti they were just another person to look after that could try there best to help. pretty amazing how somone who goes from being that well respected in a place like L.A. could jsut have the tabels turned and be treated normal. for some of the doctors it was an uneasy feeling that they would never forget.
