You can't cut any existing programs because it is
politically unacceptable. I already stated that.

Actually, you can cut existing programs, but you have to have two things in
order to do it. 1) intestinal fortitude 2) ability.

If the Republicans get control of the House, it will definitely not happen.
If the Democrats retain control, it's unlikely to happen, but it's possible.

I am skeptical. Our senate race may eventually come down to who will
admit Social Security in it's present state is unsustainable and that
person is going to lose.

Everyone says they are going to fix our deficit problem but they are
unwilling to tackle entitlements. It can't be done.

SS can be fixed relativiely quickly by taking the cap off salaries

That is not true at all. There are not that many rich people and the
real rich people don't get salaries.

and if there arent that many rich people, why does the GOP think
giving them all these tax cuts is the cure for what ails us?
