If we don't go to war over Iran first!
One good thing where I live, we are just 30 minutes away from Bangor Wash. home to a lot of the Trident Submarines.
I figure we are 5 or 6 on the Nuke strike list.
Nuke weapons being as in accurate as they are, I figure there will be one crater between Whistler and Seattle!
Beat all of you to Heaven!

Re: Social Security: What a Rip-off!
BTW, for anyone interested in getting some good tips on how to get the retirement planning process started, I recommend a book written by Jim Cramer. It's called Stay Mad For Life. I don't know that I will follow everything he suggests in this book, but I found it very helpful in getting started on the task of getting my 401K together, putting an emergency fund together, and good advice on how to start off slowly with investing, once I am ready.
A good site for researching companies and general advice on retirement, investing, and money matters in general is http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp . There are tools there for researching companies listed on the stock market and other tools to help you keep track of your investments and their performance.

Somebody is going to have to do something. The idea of Iran with a nuke is intolerable. Any radical Muslim Nation for that matter.
I hope in our close alliance with Pakistan we have gained enough intelligence to take out their nukes if their government is ever taken over by radicals.
The funny thing is that I have read that secretly all of the other Nations in the Middle East fear Iran having nuclear capibility and despite their public rhetoric would privately approve Isarel taking that capability out.

The Canada Pension Plan is not funded from tax revenues. It is at arm's length from the government and is funded by the premiums of employees, employers, and fund investments.
Major changes were made to premium levels in the late nineties that will ensure that the Canada Pension plan will meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
There was concern for the viability of the CPP, but it was addressed and the fund is in good shape.
The Old Age Pension is funded from current government revenues, but the CPP is not.

It was a smar move by Canada to keep the pension plan seperate and out of the government's reach to spend.
How does the CPP differ from the Old Age Pension? I would assume the old age pension is for those who did not contribute into the CPP?
