well thanks for coming back for this edition of things they usually don't teach you the topic today and by the way my i'm bill maher all your host the topic today is things of our lifetime and there's six different areas that will be looking at social security is one things we will miss quantitative easing once in a lifetime events little known secrets and good to know information we're going to start off with social security and social security was started by franklin delano roosevelt all right he promised that the program would be voluntary whenever it per started that you would have the opportunity to in fact dissipate if you wanted to or not that the participants would only have to pay one percent of the first fourteen hundred dollars of earnings and the money that the participants were elected to put into the program would be deducted from their income for tax purposes all right so this is in fact some some really quite interesting topics which we're still discussing today let's look at what's happened to those things one it's no longer voluntary it's mandatory requirement that it's taken out of your salary before you can get your check now instead of the first one percent of fourteen hundred dollars it's now the first seven point six five percent of the first ninety thousand dollars and the last one is no longer a tax deductible all right this is the doc the bill or tax before you get it but once again the seven point six five percent is removed once it's the federal taxes in fact are taken out from the some other things that he promised ok the money the president participants paid would be a put into a trust fund and never taken out it would only be used for social security purposes and that the annuity pro payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income ok l b j pushed the money into the general fund so he could be spent ok during and during the latter part of the vietnam war all right and as far as the annuity payments being taxes income bill clinton's administration changes so eighty five percent of your social security whenever you're receiving it can in fact be taxed now let's change subjects here things that we will miss the post office is one of those things that we won't fact mrs time goes on due to e mail due to federal express and these other programs u p s they have basically wiped out the package program that the us post office had it's been recently discovered that if it continues the way it is within ten years the post office will have a debt of about two hundred and sixty million dollars and that will be an annual debt ok the next thing is the check we write checks all the time for different things different purposes put them in the mail which we don't use anymore and most of the banks that you deal with offer online checking so therefore you don't have the right to check they keep the record of it they keep a idea of what you're spending where what functions travel things like that so the check will probably be gone pretty soon now especially since they're charging for them which they didn't used to do the next thing will be sorry to  say would be the newspapers course now they're basically used for sports or adverts advertisements for cars and things like that the public the reading public has diminished all right we get our things through other forms we get them through the internet we get the information that we do know through different parties organizations that we belong to so the newspaper organizations are now going to the internet so there is now going to be a case where they will be charging you as they charge you for the newspaper not a hard copy they won't fact be charging you for internet service to in fact get articles ok the next thing we'll look at is consent under th still the topical things will miss will be the landline telephone ok the landline phone which was a you know since the late forty's has been a standard in every household of a country that in fact will be a dying breed most people instead of paying for cell phones for all the members of the family and having a home phone well in fact basically just go with the cell phone as being their only phones that is something that is as happening more and more and the biggest problem that we have today is the fact that if you for example live in the washington county area and you head to harrisburg if you call for emergency service you'll get these the system that answers your phone usually probably in harrisburg number area so therefore if you ask for an ambulance or something you have to specifically state where you are at and what services that you need as versus calling nine one one here in the local area music of course is something that has been downloaded it has been a controversial issue over the past fifteen years since the internet has become a major factor but music as we know it has had a horrendous drop in sales it went from i believe the figure was around ten billion in the year two thousand and it stands about two billion now ok this is done because of downloading songs off the internet where one we were growing up we'd buy a forty five for a dollar dollar and a half well now you can buy music for much less than that off the internet or as has been found many the pirating of songs and things has taken place which is also eliminated a lot of the monies that these companies have in fact gotten the next one will be general television ok most of the homes around here especially have cable and they have cable that in fact brings in movie channels and  things like that news channels are seeing the be a thing of the past at one time but two years ago they did a study and c n n news had less than one hundred thousand listeners or viewers one evening during the news when you think of it washington county itself has over but two hundred fifteen thousand people living in the county so whenever you imagine a hundred thousand viewers scheduled all over the country that in fact you can see how the cable or the news organizations will in fact be a problem the things we'll miss ok one of those things we will miss will be the opportunity to have our things and by that i'm talking about our things being for example now you have a computer you have a hard drive ok and you're starting to hear now in different systems about the cloud service that is going to be perform computers the com you will no longer have a hard drive everything will be downloaded onto the internet itself and from the internet it will be downloaded to some location ok that doesn't mean that you'll have the privacy that you have now by up pictures into your hard drive and keeping them there so it will be out there somewhere no one knows specifically where that may be but those things of google and mac and those organizations well in fact be charging you for the service that they have to offer outside of your hard drive the last thing and probably the most important thing out of all these issues that we're going to be missing is our own privacy ok as i mentioned earlier when she downloaded something on the internet it's gone it's out there and it gives everybody the opportunity who has the capacity to and vac get onto it gives them the opportunity to in fact download anything you have put letters photographs memorabilia that you have on there gives them the opportunity to top load it into their cloud system so the idea of the things that we have now the things that we hold near and dear privacy of those things will probably sorry to say be a thing of the past in the near future once in a lifetime events ok this is something that we all share and no one else out of our generations no matter how many generations we're talking about has never seen it before and you're going to see it this july and this july basically offer something that we won't see for another eight hundred twenty three years and that is that it has five fridays five saturdays and five sundays and once again this is once in a lifetime a vent so when you get to that it's another reason to have a party even though the fourth of july falls on a monday which gives you a long weekend to be able to celebrate it the next thing we're going to do is run take a look at a small video of quantitative easing explained ok we've hear so much about our money being affected by what the federal government's doing all right they did two trillion dollars plus money funneled into these organizations to try to get them solvent again which really didn't work  we in fact they just came up with quantitative easing two which in fact is another six hundred million dollars that we don't have the we're printing it's hard to explain as i did during one of my last shows i talked about mr johnson who used to be an economics teacher here he did an excellent job but none and nothing that he ever to explain to us explained this better than the small videos so please sit back relax enjoy it and you'll see how much it makes sense and by treasuries what does that mean it means they're going to out of money so why do they call it a quantitative easing lie don't they just call it the printing money because the printing money in the last refuge of failed economic empires gold isn't that good doesn't it mean that people can buy lore of the south yes but the fed said this has been especially during the recession so they think that during a recession when the people have less money to buy the stuff it is found that the prices go buy health care costs are higher than a year ago yes our tuitions prices higher than a year ago yes are the taxes higher than a year ago yes are the subway series higher than a year ago yes are the god prices higher than a year is why you became a plumber and not an economist how does the fed execute the quantitative easing they print the money and then they buy the treasury bonds do they buy the treasury bonds from the treasury department so they buy the treasury bonds from the goldman he must be showing me no so let me get this straight if i want to buy the treasury bonds with my money i can buy them directly from the treasury yes and if you want to buy the treasury bonds with your money you can buy them give them the worst possible price on the treasury bond yes exactly and that is ok with this blatant south from the american people of course not the waters the fed will just buy the treasury bonds directly from the treasury department who in spite  during the recession with the higher unemployment it is that it is the thing people each of high cost more money correct according to the best birthday the inflation will create the jobs and the people counting market has this ever been tried before yes just last year th six hundred billion dollars so even though the first two trillion did not create a job or improve the housing market then decided to do another six hundred billion anyway yet who put the ben bernanke in charge then breading was first appointed by ok i have that video explained it better than i possibly ever could i know it does i mean the least i'd sort of sum i understood it the next slide we're going to is a little known secret ok starting world war two one hundred forty one an increasing number of british airmen were found to be guest of the third reich they didn't want to be but they were captured and they were put in prison now the problem with this is of course every soldier and sailor and marine and air force member of this country who  captured has already taken part of an oath whenever they come into the service stating that they would try to escape if captured well this became very difficult because of the fact that we all heard what they were doing in prison camps in germany at the time so now what what they were trying to do is try to figure out how to help these airmen and the soldiers xscape from from german custody so what they did was came up with the use of monopoly and this came out in a very interesting fashion paper  paper maps and that were very hard to print crumble up in the small packages and try to get in through the guards there were certain things though that were allowed and one of those things were games the in fact monopoly game is one of those things that they were able to mass produce and sent to the the different camps and this was allowed under the international red cross no whatever felt that this would be a problem now the benefit to the prisoners of course and the folks at the united kingdom was that there was a gentleman who in fact had a process of printing maps on silk ok you could crumble it up and it would have a problem because you could unravel it you could read it and so what they did was they try to find out how they could work that well it just happened to be this gentleman john washington scuse me happen to have the business of making monopoly games he had a license for that over the united kingdom so then they started trying to figure out how they could put the two together having the games allowed to go to prison camps that in fact that worked out a lot better for everybody so what they did was they started using the different pieces of monopoly in sticking maps inside of there they also sent as part of a game piece would be a compass would be a part of the game pieces along with the dog in the car and everything else and so prior to the airman being sent on a mission they would be advised that if they got captured to look for certain marked monopoly games and in fact inside there would be maps in that sent to those different locations ok the care packages as they were called at that time included these monopoly games which would in fact go into the camps a part of the game pieces they would have as i mentioned some of playing token which would be a small workable magnet compass a two part metal fall that could be used and screwed together and used for mounts of german and italian and french currency would be stuck into the monopoly money so if they could they could pull out the money use the fall if they need it and also would have a compass and a small map that would be in part of the playing pieces once again they would be told to look at a free parking slot on the game board if there was a red dot which looked like a over print for most people looking at it but if you are looking at it and watching for something you look for that small red dot that's at it helped about thirty five thousand ally p o w s to get out of german prisons so it was a success this was actually classified up to two thousand and seven so from world war two all the way to two thousand and seven this idea of what happened during world war two was in fact a classified secret and as they say it's always nice to get a get out of jail free card one of the things about work were changing good to know information ok one of the things about heating water in microwaves is the fact that sometimes you heat the water to a super heated position prior to ever knowing or seeing bubbles so when in fact you're heating water please make sure that you in fact look pay attention and don't just pull water out because if the water shifts it can reach on to a substance or a portion of the glass or the whatever is holding the fluids and in fact not allow it to get to its full capacity as far as as far as going to a boiling point and it's better actually to have something in there like i'm a tea bag without staple or something else in there like a wooden spoon and to in fact be able to bring the water so it can hold on to something and bring it to a boil that we can see this is in fact has been done and the reason why i bring this up because there's been a number of incidences in hospitals where people just reach in open up the door pull out something in the soon as the glass gets moved it splashes the water in the face of the individual so especially dealing with little kids and things like this it's a very very good thing to know that's the last thing i have here for today once again these programs are short because of the fact that we don't want to bore you with too much stuff at once so please come  back things they usually don't teach you host bill murray and if you have anything that you like the c n n next program my address email address is on the screen some of the programs in the future we have the director of national cemetery coming in more all day program we're going to be doing so i look forward to seeing you back thanks a lot
