    Ok but what happens when your saftey net ensares more people than it helps, If it's clear SS is becoming dead weight why not reform it
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Because obviously government cant do anything, so when there is a problem we need to scrap it completely.

    Where will Congress find a) their balls, and b) $2.5 trillion? Both are going to be needed to fix Social Security.

    I believe there are two retarded wars going on - ending them would free up a lot of cash. There's also a bloated defense budget on the loose, more than ready for some of those deep cuts previously reserved for poor people.

    That never helped anyone. The only reason we need the rich to pay their taxes is to keep the tax-morale high.

    not enough. and i would rather have a strong military than social security.

    An easy thing to say for the middle class.

    Not that easy to say when your single mom was a junkie and you're still mentally unstable because you got raped by three 40-year olds at age 9.
    yeah real common place example, the single mother was enough. what did you just watch Precious.


    That is opinion based upon your own bias that government cant handle anything, therefor anything broken will become irreparable. I'm getting tired of modern day conservatives spouting their talking points as facts.

    That is My opinion based on numbers that it is nigh on impossible to even reform without making people completely pissed off and impossible to sustain for much longer at this rate.
