![]() ![]() 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.

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.

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. |

![]() Fight with nukes? I don't think anyone wins using nukes. And, if we've been fighting for oil since 1991, how come we haven't gotten any so far?!~

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!!

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. ![]()
