![]() Extend payroll tax break extension and unemployment to produce jobs. Build roads and bridges (to nowhere) to employ out of work construction workers. In other words spend, spend spend! Not a peep about paying down the debt or even debt reduction. Simply tax more to maintain the out-of-control spending.
And tax those who can afford it. Make them pay their fair share. (already paying 80%) ![]() |

![]() What continues to be alarming yet rarely ever spoken about is the fact senior citizens both present and in the future are among the largest owed creditors of the debt. $3.6 trillion, 100% owed, not a dime in cash, by a Treasury who had $60 billion on hand and had to kick and scream to get $1.2 trillion more, zero of which, was deposited in the SS fund. A fund that was fully paid for by recipients who paid in cash every pay period. Yet as soon as it was received in fact long before it was received it was spent with the promise of treasury credits. If they were a bank they'd be out of business and under indictment. Fixing social security should now be a priority above any program not funded by participents, including PBS, NPR, the national ad administration etc etc etc. Cuts are all in the details and there are thousands and thousands out there available to cut with little or no adverse effects to the general public.
It's a no brainer. We pay ourselves back the money owed us, reduce the debt by over $3 trillion and have a built in safety net so seniors will not have to worry anytime soon. Meanwhile I can deal with the occasional pot hole. |

![]() It's amazing. It goes up on Red State, then comes out of your fingers. Just reflex arcs.

No you are entitled to your SS. I just said it's sad that you didn't plan/save for retirement and now depend on that check. You know, when you were crying 'poor'. |

![]() Not for anything Dell, but people can't even make ends meet now (and I'm talking about people with jobs). How the hell are they supposed to save/worry for the future?

![]() a lot of people depend on that check; they paid into it, they earned it. i think it's rather disingenuous to harp on someone for saying they rely on it, and then going on about how it's a ripoff and you won't get yours.
