    Jeremy, I had that impression of you in the very first moments we met. Your participation in the event, your general sanity, and don't forget...your wife and kid are a tell and an extension of yourself.

    You are a man worthy of admiration in any generation.

    UUUUGH....Now for you other fockers....

    Gilbert C. Your ignorance is only surpassed by your thin skin. What? You don't think being a member at a practice facility where they built a special tee for Tiger, Nike moved their R&D dept. to, and besides Tiger, Noah Bengay (spl.?) was a member makes me clueless?

    PGA pros would come by all the time and give me free lessons. Once, one of them looked at a driver I had. A Ping 5.5° stiff shafted driver. "Damn son, that's something I would use, that's a lot of club." Yep. No doubt. But, I also had that club, and Mr. Whippy, a loaner from the office that's basically a driver head on a car antenna, and swapped them back and forth between shots.

    Each had their own feedback to give, and the experience was beneficial, and I was hitting both well enough to catch the attention of fellow golf range users.

    I took one official payed for lesson. I was having trouble with my fairway woods, so, the pro told me some things to do, and I hit my 3 wood about 240 yrds. Then we did some video work, which REALLY helped because, I am very knowledgeable about the golf swing, but can't see myself while doing it.

    Sooo.....what earth shattering revelations are you going to offer me, should I make the trip?

    Maybe that you are a spoiled, delusional millennial?
    Wow. Excellent show of restraint. And demonstration of humility. Impressive.

    Where the **** did that come from? All I said was that I saw that you played golf. Then you proceeded to attack my profession. You are the craziest person on this website. **** you

    And if you think you’re all that and a bag of chips, take your PAT and do the classes. There’s more to it than working in a golf shop and answering phones all day

    I’ve already warned you and deleted posts.

    One week ban for completely uncalled for personal attack against someone who has shown a ton of restraint given your previous unwarranted attacks.

    Heated debates are one thing. Your attacks have been completely one sided.

    Getting back on track...…….

    What round for golf carts?

    They die spectacularly when thrown in neutral, coasted down a hill and flipped over. Learned that lesson in high school when working for a golf course and thanfully it wasn't my doing. But it was a damn sight to watch.

    Again,

    Social Security isn't funded from the Federal Budget.

    It's an accounting trick to make the deficits look smaller than they are.

    What they do is take the money from SS and roll it into the budget then put SS into the budget. Up till very recently SS was taking in more money than it was paying out. That doesn't even begin to account for the money that used to be in the SS trust fund that Congress raided and replaced with IOUs.

    Since you guys like pictures more than reading federal budgets here's an infographic. It's put out by the CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE. Not some fringe group. The people that actually read and make sure the budget's i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

    Federal Budget.png

    That Darker and Dark Blue are social security and Medicare. It's MANDATORY spending.. It's money we have to spend.. get this.. not out of the trust fund, but out of the FEDERAL BUDGET COLLECTED FROM TAXES...

    As for the trust fund raids. You can't blame Millennials for that one either. That was done before the majority were born with the exception of myself and a few others who were still crapping our diapers when you guys continued to vote the thieves in.


    An old statute requires the Treasury to issue an annual financial statement, similar to a corporation’s annual report. The FY 2017 edition is 274 enlightening pages that the government hopes none of us will read.

    Among the many tidbits, it contains a table on page 63 that reveals the net present value of the US government’s 75-year future liability for Social Security and Medicare.

    That amount exceeds the net present value of the tax revenue designated to pay those benefits by $46.7 trillion. Yes, trillions. Where will this $46.7 trillion come from? We don’t know. Baby Boomers don't have to care. They will be dead before it comes due.

    Trying to add them up quickly becomes an exercise in absurdity. They are so huge that it’s hard to believe the government will pay them, promises or not.

    Now, I know this is going to come as a shock, but that $46.7 trillion of unfunded liabilities is pretty much a lie. Professor Larry Kotlikoff estimates the unfunded liabilities to be closer to $210 trillion.


    If you ever want to get sick or make yourself want to drink you can look at the reality of our situation here. Not caused by the lazy millennials. Hell maybe we are lazy, or maybe a lot of us have just logically given up because we've literally been put in a no win situation by the baby boomers.

    Here's the latest federal budget that was printed. 2017 should be coming in the next weeks or so.

    I was born in 1961.
    I'm considered a boomer.
    The first election I could vote in, I voted Reagan, not Carter.
    I'm probably about the same age as your father.

    Look.
    You're lumping me and many others into a group we don't belong in. Just like you've been thrown in as a gen x or millennial.

    I'll ask nicely.
    Don't blame me for social security and I won't blame you for the couch potatoes. OK?

    Sounds good, my father was born in 1949. I give him a LOT of grief about this. I give everyone in my family over 60 a LOT of grief about it.

    Gunz are icky.
    The ignore button works.
    SS was one of only two I’ve used it on.

    Golf carts respond nicely to 00buck.

    The .gov spending deficit will never be brought under control with the system we have.
    Too many take from the system vs. put in to the system.
    Any attempts at reform are met with howls of(pick one) racism, ageism, Elitism, yada yada yada.
    More than likely total collapse will have to occur and a reset before any real progress can be made to bring spending under control.
