Rand : "You are going to take money from Social Security to spend it on . . . immediate concerns."
(paraphrasing) "You are all guilty of it - addicted to spending like a junkie"

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT)
Last night while you were sleeping the Senate voted to steal $150 billion dollars from the Social Security Trust Fund. I joined 34 of my colleagues
in a vote to prevent this raid.
I would like to thank Senator Rand Paul for leading the fight to protect to Social Security from the thieves in Washington, who seem to think that if
they steal from the American people at night while they are sleeping that they will get away with it.

I was proud to vote with Senator Paul on his point of order that would have protected Social Security, and I ask you to help me shine a light
on what Washington has tried to hide from you in the darkness of night.

If everyone who sees this message shares it, it will reach millions of Americans. As someone who has been fighting for years
to reform our broken government in Washington, I know it is exhausting, I sympathize with your frustration, and I understand your impatience.

But don't give up. Washington wants you to give up.

Just remember, a vote to raid social security in the middle of the night in a desperate attempt to perpetuate an unsustainable spending addiction
isn't a sign of strength. It is a sign of weakness.

Interesting. I would of expected if Lee was to do a primary endorsement it would of been Cruz instead. But this is making me think otherwise

This is awesome! And the video of Rand he shared is great too, especially the part where he gets pissed. This is the side of Rand that people needed to see.

I just made http://imgur.com/gallery/A07Iu6e anything I should add? I know imgur is a liberal cesspool, but I know liberals arent exactly for cutting social security so I think this would resonate with them a bit. I believe behind Sanders, Paul is the favorite of most viewers. Feel free to upvote it to get it more views if you want. Imgur is a pretty large community that can help garner more attention to the subject.

[mwkaufman]

Let's say I have 100k in my pension plan but I want to go to the race track. I'm willing to take 100k out, and I'm willing to pay a 30k penalty, but I'm willing to do it because I'm an addict. And I'm addicted to spending. And I'm going to spend the money now.

Seems like a not at all veiled shot at a one Marco Rubio?

http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/18/retirement/marco-rubio-ira/


Let's assume he's in the 33% bracket. That means he probably had to pony up roughly $30,000 in taxes and penalties on his IRA cash-out. That means he would have netted only $38,000 from the original $68,000.

[Jan2017]

Where can I find how this bill says it will give unlimited amounts of spending money to the president? . . .
Raising the debt ceiling through March 2017 is the common narrative . . . Rand and Cruz and Lee and press corps and all.

The vote roll call here . . .
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/votes.htm
links to the bill . . .https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1314
with links to the text/amendments yadayadayada at

https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1314/text#toc-H58D50A5CEB954A17808FBAC2CFA3AA97

But your question got me to wondering why no one in the media is mentioning the Social Security Act changes
-or- what Cruz was talking about oil reserves gonna be sold while the oil barrel price is low to cover their arses. Stuff is in there.

TITLE IV—STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE (https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1314/text#toc-HCF527E363C5D4DE6A21B58A3A97B507D)

TITLE VIII—SOCIAL SECURITY (https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1314/text#toc-H19D06C3DA33A4737AFCA2FB67CC8AB4E)

SEC. 833. REALLOCATION OF PAYROLL TAX REVENUE.

(1) WAGES.—Section 201(b)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401(b)(1) (http://uscode.house.gov/quicksearch/get.plx?title=42&section=401)) is amended by striking “and (R) 1.80 per centum of the wages (as so defined) paid after December 31, 1999, and so reported” and inserting “(R) 1.80 per centum of the wages (as so defined) paid after December 31, 1999, and before January 1, 2016, and so reported, (S) 2.37 per centum of the wages (as so defined) paid after December 31, 2015, and before January 1, 2019, and so reported, and (T) 1.80 per centum of the wages (as so defined) paid after December 31, 2018, and so reported,”.
(2) SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME.—Section 201(b)(2) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 401(b)(2) (http://uscode.house.gov/quicksearch/get.plx?title=42&section=401)) is amended by striking “and (R) 1.80 per centum of the amount of self-employment income (as so defined) so reported for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 1999”and inserting “(R) 1.80 per centum of the amount of self-employment income (as so defined) so reported for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 1999, and before January 1, 2016, (S) 2.37 per centum of the amount of self-employment income (as so defined) so reported for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2015, and before January 1, 2019, and (T) 1.80 per centum of the amount of self-employment income (as so defined) so reported for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2018”.


relocation of wages and self-employment income for all of 2016, 2017, and 2018 changed from 1.80% to 2.37% then goes back to 1.80% - I guess (?)
But, I am sure your local "constituent services" office will explain it better with a phone call from ya' all. Just ask 'em Granny!

They will love what he has to say.

[nikcers]

There is a lot more to this then fiscal responsibility, hopefully this pays off because we now are escalating the Syrian conflict by deploying boots to Syria in order to oust Assad while simultaneously giving the military industrial complex a blank check to spend as much as it wants. This comes at a time when Russia and China have been happy to show off their new military capabilities. Russia recently started bombing the moderates we have been arming with new advanced weapons, and when China had its military parade to "celebrate" winning world war 2 they paraded their new weapons.

The filibuster thing aside, judging by the comments on the video, it appears to be being received extremely well. Not really sure why there is anything to complain about by encouraging people to spread this video which is going somewhat viral.

[Badger Paul]

"If I were you I would try laying low for a while. "

Why, are you going to blow my brains out if I don't? I have an opinion, and an argument, I'm stating it. You're countering it, disagreeing with it, denouncing it, whatever. That how a free society works. I'm sorry I'm not engaging in mind meld. I still presume this is a free place to offer and exchange of views.

I'm upset (hardly whining) the campaign was pushing a stunt they knew was going to fail quickly or didn't wish it to go as far as they could have taken which makes Rand look like nothing more than a poseur to those outside of loyal fanbase.

I would say it's about the same as your run for dog catcher.

There are no guarantees in politics but If I'm going to run for office and ask for people's support, I think I owe it to them to run an energetic contest to make their donations and time given without payment, worth their while.

Looking at the comments of various older people, I'm sure hopping Rand won some over. The old vote is what he needs the most.

Perhaps you're just looking at it the wrong way. He's bringing light to what's happening behind the scenes in hopes people take it upon themselves to friggin pay attention and wake the hell up to the corruption. This could lead to those people reaching the same conclusions as us, and possibly understanding how the current system is wrong and how we need to get back to following the Constitution.

Hey stop being badgering the minority opinion in here. Just because we agree that Rand made the right choice by going to the debate instead of doing a speaking filibuster. Some people would of just preferred for Rand Paul to skip the debate in order to make sure mitch mcconnell doesn't block the speaking filibuster so that the media can put out headlines saying that Rand Paul is giving up running for the republican nomination to focus on his senate reelection.

You think if they did there would be a budget deal right now or Paul Ryan would be Speaker? Hell Rand only mentioned the budget deal once during the debate and the other candidates hardly at all.

But hey we're all good, loyal Republicans here. We got more defense spending and more farm subsidies, life is good!:rolleyes:

As I said, if all this after-the-fact pageviews leads to Rand being at the top of the polls, I'll admit I was wrong. We'll see.

They have to step on it tomorrow. Too good not to promote. It's not going to be as viral tomorrow, but with some effort that video can get to 5 million views in total. Newsworthy - they need to push it as it changes the narrative that Rand's filibuster was just a waste of time.

Yes, I think that's the issue.

In Mike Lee's Facebook post he tagged Rand's official "Senator Rand Paul" page, not the "Rand Paul" page he's using for the campaign.

Senate rules say you can't use any video from Senate proceedings as part of a campaign.


"Use of any duplication of television coverage of the proceedings of the Senate for campaign purposes is strictly prohibited," said Brian Hart, a spokesman for Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, the chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, citing the standing rules of the Senate.

It's not a campaign ad, but sharing it on the Facebook page he's using for his campaign might still violate that rule.

(btw isnt it a bit unusual that a post gets "so few" likes compared to the shares?)

No, that's normal. Two reasons.

One is that each person can only like the post once, but you can share it many times.

The other is that if you share the video, and someone likes your shared post... it won't be added to those public numbers as a like on Mike Lee's post.

But if someone shares the video off of your share, it does count in those numbers that are shown publicly on Lee's page.

You're right that the video probably has more likes than shares in total, it's just the way Facebook calculates the numbers to display. If you were an admin of the page you can see the total amount of likes on shares and it would be a lot higher than 76k.

Ok cool. I had to read what I wrote a few times to make sure I was able to follow it myself, lol.

Wow, these numbers are ridiculous. And in 24 hours. This isn't a music video. It's not some funny viral video. This is someone speaking in the Senate.

I wonder what portion of the people watching and sharing this have ever even seen 3 minutes of a Senate speech before.

what are 'other concerns' that Rand is talking about?...i see comments that it means taking money from SSI to SSdisability. If so, why is that an issue? I have concerns that it is being shifted to warfare, or pork projects...

My father worked for Social Security for several decades and he says that this is a common practice. The problem with this is that in addition to rampant fraud, it cuts against the primary function of the program as a pension, and is one of the major contributing factors for the entire program being insolvent.

Given how badly the average American takes care of themselves, this will further hasten the eventual collapse of this system.

From Mike Lee's Senate.gov page:


According to the Social Security Trustees, the Social Security Disability Insurance program – or SSDI – is scheduled to run out of money in 2016. Which means that, without serious reform, disability benefits would be slashed, across the board, by nearly 20 percent.

Under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, the bankruptcy deadline of SSDI would be pushed off for an additional 6 years, until 2022.

But here’s the kicker: it would do so by raiding the Social Security Trust Fund, to the tune of $150 billion.

That’s right: our grand, bipartisan solution to the impending insolvency of our nation’s largest disability insurance program amounts to stealing $150 billion from our nation’s largest retirement insurance program.

So yeah, SSDI is about to run out of money and instead of reforming it they're just going to take money from the SS retirement fund. And then say, "Yay, we came together and fixed the problem." But that just creates a bigger hole later in SS.

[Jan2017]

This bipartisan (all Democrats + RINOs) Budget bill has all sorts of stuff in it - months in the making. Social Security includes payroll reallocation change for 3 years temporarily, but goes back down to current levels on January 1, 2019 (sure to happen), and, the selling of petroleum reserves now that the price per barrel is low.

[Kurt Evans]

They have to step on it tomorrow. Too good not to promote. It's not going to be as viral tomorrow, but with some effort that video can get to 5 million views in total. Newsworthy - they need to push it as it changes the narrative that Rand's filibuster was just a waste of time.

The media has been lying even more obnoxiously than usual this week. The video is well over six million views and appears to be racing toward half a million shares.


"Use of any duplication of television coverage of the proceedings of the Senate for campaign purposes is strictly prohibited," said Brian Hart, a spokesman for Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, the chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, citing the standing rules of the Senate.

Thanks for the information, Jackie.

If everyone who sees this message shares it, it will reach millions of
Americans. As someone who has been fighting for years to reform our
broken government in Washington, I know it is exhausting, I sympathize
with your frustration, and I understand your impatience. But don't give up.
Washington wants you to give up.

Just remember, a vote to raid social security in the middle of the night in a
desperate attempt to perpetuate an unsustainable spending addiction isn't a
sign of strength. It is a sign of weakness.

Junkies. Beautiful.

[Evilfox]

Rand should use this momentum to call for Lindsey Graham to drop out of the race because he voted with Obama for more debt, use this time to single out someone who is going to drop out of the race and someone who is not currently in the lime light of the media. This could sure up support from Cruz/Rubio supporters to unite behind the message and instead of people saying Rand should drop out, it will be Lindsey should drop out. Which we all know he is going to do shortly.

[KEEF]

Which falls right into the hands of Rand's whole message...

The Right and the Left have this "unholy alliance" to keep to the same pile of SHIT going with zero change.

RAND FOR CHANGE 2016

Time to co-opt that "change" slogan.
You, me, and most everyone here know this, but boobus americanus see his filibuster as a failure since it didn't involve a marathon talk. Reading comments, no one knows that you can have non speech filibusters.

[qh4dotcom]

Someone posted this comment on my FB page....is he right?



I'm a little bit confused. When SS was started the supreme court case Helvering v. Davis declared that SS tax surpluses had to be spent in the general fund and could not be saved.

(Originally FDR sold the SS "contributions" to the public as being an insurance premium, not a tax. However, in the supreme court arguments it was noted that congress has the power to tax, not the power to charge premiums. The administration changed course and admitted that it was a tax. But, in the court case the judges opined that taxes have to be spent in the current general fund for the general welfare and could not be saved for a particular welfare in the future.)

So I don't understand why this issue has to be put to a vote because I thought it would be illegal not to spend the money on other projects. Maybe I am missing a nuance particular to this vote?

And on a side note Sen. Paul is mistaken, there is no obligation to pay SS benefits. The supreme court case Flemming v. Nestor determined that the government is not contractually obligated to pay out SS benefits to those who paid in contributions.

[Jan2017]

. . . boobus americanus see his filibuster as a failure since it didn't involve a marathon talk.

The media need to promote that as a failure - so one of the longer successful filibusters (that had a result), and this now - the shortest. (result?)

Cruz was right . . . by the House passing this up to the Senate with days to go, it is "must-pass" bill -
with Obama whispering "shutdown" in McConnell's ears - and it makes the US Senate meaningless in the USA budget bill.

Nice job Ryan !

In this 1960 Supreme Court decision Nestor's denial of benefits was upheld even though he had contributed to the program for 19 years and was already receiving benefits. Under a 1954 law, Social Security benefits were denied to persons deported for, among other things, having been a member of the Communist party. Accordingly, Mr. Nestor's benefits were terminated. He appealed the termination arguing, among other claims, that promised Social Security benefits were a contract and that Congress could not renege on that contract. In its ruling, the Court rejected this argument and established the principle that entitlement to Social Security benefits is not contractual right.

I've seen some other posts like that and some posters on FB say that Lee and Paul are fear mongering and that this has been a common practice to shift money around like that.

But I think they are missing the point...which in my view is playing games with large amounts of money like that (robbing Peter to pay Paul) and spending money and ignoring the debt is a losing game, and isn't sustainable. I fully expect to not get any Social Security checks after I retire because I expect it all to fail because of these kind of games they continue to play and that is what Lee and Paul are saying in my view. Correct me if I am misunderstanding.

[ClydeCoulter]

Well, do you consider the Supreme Court to be the last word? And, can another Supreme Court opinion change the previously accepted opinion?

Not due to ill intent, but Lee is getting all the credit for (his own) post.

"Rand" is not mentioned until the 4th line, and at the top of every share in bold, lies "United States Senator Mike Lee."

Also, nowhere is it noted that Rand is the actual speaker of the video (until the very end of the clip,) only that Rand is "leading the fight."

Yeah, but as noted in my edit, I wouldn't be surprised if most viewers think that in the video, Rand is Lee.

The connection in the video description is extremely weak (for those who wouldn't recognize Rand.)

The fourth line comes off as a standard Senatorial "thank you," something to be skimmed over.

Many people in comments are thanking Rand. Assuming they watch the whole video (it's a short video so it's likely) at the 1:53 mark it says Rand Paul right under him.

Probably just laziness or lack of facebook knowledge. A lot of these people might not even be interested in politics but they hear their SS money is being taken away so they watch it. It's on Mike Lee's page so it's much easier to click a like on a page you're already on than to navigate to somebody else's page.

That's why the campaign should jump on this. I watched Rand's speech to the Iowa GOP today, (huge crowd of elderly white voters) and while he railed against this budget deal, there was no mention of raiding social security.

Still the Mike Lee video will translate into higher favorabilities and support in the polls for Rand. It's ultimately gonna get over a million shares and 50 million in reach I think. That's worth many millions in advertising.

Yeah, I think that's it. It's so tough to get people to click through to do another step. Even when they like what they see. They'd have to click the link to Rand's page and then like that. But they can like and share the video without having to leave their main feed.

I don't know if it's because people are lazier, or have shorter attention spans, or are too busy, or with everyone checking Facebook on their phones it's just more difficult. Even if Mike Lee had expressly said "Click here and like Rand Paul's Facebook page"... most people would still say "ain't nobody got time for that".

That will probably prove to be a lagging indicator. People usually don't shell out money immediately following a gradual change of mind regarding a candidate they are not familiar with, and the Nov. 5th money bomb is probably storing up a larger amount of funding, though how much is yet to be seen.

I don't think the full effect of this viral video will be known for a little while, but given how widely respected that Mike Lee is among Tea Party types who are generally lukewarm if not cold to Rand's foreign policy views, this may give Rand a nice bump in his poll numbers, not to mention help out with his deficit among older GOP voters.

I believe the views of shares don't count as views of the original, but all the re-shares count as original shares. But I'm not sure.

That would make sense, because it would probably be more stress on the bandwidth to count all of the views of the shares back to the original video, but counting all of the shares would make sense since they wouldn't be as high. I wouldn't be surprised if the total number of views for every share of this video is well above 20 million.

Hannity said there were 55mil views during discussion w/Rand today

http://www.hannity.com/articles/shows-472046/radio-show-recap-nov-3-14091579


4:30 P.M. EST - Sen. Rand Paul - The Kentucky Senator and 2016 GOP presidential candidate isn’t faring too well in recent polls. Today’s NBC/WSJ poll has him at 2%: Trump 23, Carson 29, Rubio 11, Cruz 10, Bush 8, Fiorina 3, Huckabee 3, Paul 2, Kasich 3, Christie 3

Last week, the Senator made headlines after slamming lawmakers for pushing through the budget deal at 3 a.m. on Friday and called them junkies for wanting to steal money from Social Security to pay for other expenses:

You’re going to take money out of the social security fund, and you’re going to spend it on an immediate fix. And by fix I mean not fixing the program. By fix I mean what a junkie does. A junkie is addicted to spending.”

So we will be putting forward a budget resolution that says, you know what, if you’re going to steal money from social security, if you’re going to take money from social security, and you’re going to spend it on other concerns — people say well we’re going to spend it on disability — well the social security fund was put forward as a pension plan. You have an obligation to those who put the money in.

So stealing money from people who will be getting money in the future to pay for immediate concerns is robbing Peter to pay Paul. So those in this body will be asked tonight to vote on whether or not you’re willing to take money from social security to spend it on immediate concerns.”
