Now, what to cut? Personally, I'm all for cutting Medicare. These old blue-hairs can just pay for private insurance like the rest of us do and then I don't have to pay Medicare out of my paycheck just so they can get treated for their lifetime of smoking and not exercising and eating cheap fried crap at the Early Bird Special. It's not my problem; I'm not old. It's not my fault they didn't bother to save money for their inevitable health care costs at the end of their life- they should have been more fiscally responsible. I don't see the Medicare recipients here showing any concern for my health care; why should I have to pay for theirs?

I'm sure a private company will be delighted to give them comprehensive insurance at a reasonable rate. And if they won't? Well, not my problem. They can just go ask for help from their local church. I'm sure private charity can take care of them.

That's it; that's the solution to a large part of the budget. End Medicare. See? Easy.

Stop borrowing money and cut the defense budget in half.

Then send you off in a straight-jacket.

i don't expect any more, or any less, from him than any other politician up there. i think for most in office, it's I rather than we.

What make you think that those of us on Medicare don't pay for it? A retired couple on Medicare with a supplement plan pays anywhere from $600 - $800 a month.

And, I don't have blue hair. I may be old, but if you have the good fortune to get to be my age, you'll wonder how the hell you got to be "old" so swiftly and wonder why the younger generation is so rude and dismissive of those who came before them. So save the slams at the elderly. It only makes you look more the fool than you already are. Age discrimmination is as bad as racial discrimmination.

But, yes, by all means - stop Medicare cold. Pay out benefits to those who are already retired and about to be retired in the next 5 years, and give back the money paid into the plan by all others. Let them decide how best they want to plan for their medical requirements in retirement.

Cut the defense budget? What are we going to do - use spit balls in the next confrontation?!~ It's the one expense that the Constitution gives the federal goverment.

How about doing away with entitlement program that no one has ever paid into and cleaning up fraud and waste in the current government health care system. Do away with tort law and giveouts to illegal alliens.

Do you know how many nukes we have?

Hell...the military is going to the private sector now. There is no need to keep fighting wars for oil... let the oil companies pay for the troops.

But what really amuses me is people like Riot who start fights over relatively meaningless subjects like Glenn beck and Sarah Palin (neither of which currently hold a position of authority and are basically paid entertainers) and believe themselves to be somehow neutral!

I always expect BWS to offer his opinions on subjects based upon his version of the world which is much different than many others here. I dont always agree with his take but respect his opinion. Nascar has a completely different view of the world based upon his experiences yet no one seems to respect most of what he has to say. While I admit that his pettiness and namecalling can surely not help the cause, he does bring a different view.

Now with that out there a random poster that didnt agree with brian would be 1000 times more likely to be called homophobic than a label being attached to someone who disagreed with Nascar.
Love your comment.

Thanks for doing exactly what I said you do not 6 hours after I posted it. Fine work, sir, for making me look like a genius.

To answer your latest attack, I took the entrance exam for the military because it was something I considered doing, and got a perfect score. I decided college was a better option for me. However, that doesn't make me less of a citizen than you, despite what you spew. Whether or not you served in the military has absolutely no bearing on "sucking up to the President". Having an unabashed hate for our elected leader to the point of where I'd fear you'd assassinate him if he ever came to your town is truly dishonorable to our great nation. You not once have given a factual reason WHY you dislike him so much that hasn't been proven incorrect. That leads me to my assumption from before that the two reasons you don't are he's (a) a Democrat and (b) black. Correct me if I'm wrong with ACCURATE WELL STATED FACTS!!

I can 100% confirm that Doreen is, in fact, a KKK card carrying member and a Nazi spy.











JUST KIDDING! Of course she isn't racist in any way.

actually, we could cut defense spending in half and still spend far, far more on our military than any other nation. i doubt we'd be reduced to spit balls.

hell, my personal arsenal is probably more powerful than a lot of 'armies'.

It's the reason. Who do you think has Washington's ear? The oil lobby or average citizens?

You scared me there for a moment, philski. Was fantasizing about tying you to your chair, trashing your laptop computer, burning your handicapping notes, and forcing candy cane down your throat the next time I got to see you.

BTW - Bill is a member of the NRA and a really big NASCAR fan. Do you really want to call him a racist - to his face?!~~ Nah! I didn't think so.

Perhaps you're too young to remember Reagan's build up of the military. Russia blinked. I'm an unapologetic Reagan conservative. Big military, small government, and a Flat Tax (edit: I mean Fair Tax. not Flat Tax) program.

There is corruption, graft, waste, and fraud in defense spending, but even if that was cleaned up, there would be no way that defense spending could be cut in half.

And, if your personal arsenal is that strong, Uncle Sam needs you.
