Okey Dokey, if you say so.

I say it along with all the non-crazies.

So you really think the government can survive with a revenue stream
that barely covers the entitlements and interest on the debt with
virtually zero percent interest and 70-80 million boomers coming into
the SS/C system in the next decade.

I really think that the problems will get solved in whole or in part
as time goes on.

Another kick of the can.

So, if a problem can't get solved IMMEDIATELY and requires some
thought, negotiation, or patience, then it's kick the can, and ****
all that. Let's just blunder in and fix it. How moronic can you get.

The only reason interest rates are low is because the fed is buying up
all the unsold paper with money they create out of thin air. That
can't go on forever.

And there're no plans for it to go on "forever". Who's saying that?
Oh, you are. I forgot.

Did you hear the plan? I didn't.

It's called negotiation and testing. You weren't listening.

The GOP doesn't want to raise any taxes and the democrats only want to
tax rich people. There is just not enough money there.
Bill Clinton even said it.

Huh? I guess you didn't see all the compromising that went on. Clinton
said what? I'm betting its either old or out of context for this.

It was exactly in context. He was responding to the question of
whether taxing the rich more would solve our problems. His point was
everyone's taxes needed to go up, at least to the rates in his
administration. Democrats don't even support that position.

Taxing the rich is a good start. Taxing the middle class is doable,
but only in a strong economy. That's the context. Dems don't support
taxing the middle class NOW.

Korea may get us in a war with the Chinese but we would have to borrow
the money from them to do it ... think about it.

Korea? What the **** does that have to do with SS? Not a ****ing
thing, but it sounds good.

Wars are expensive.
The entitlements and interest on the debt consumes all we collect
right now. The money has to come from somewhere.

Like during WW2? Oh yeah, it's called deficit spending.

They sequestered a measly 85 billion and we had to withdraw a carrier
battle group. (or so we were told)

Yep, that's your thing... $85B on the backs of people who can least
afford it. That's GOP.

How much do you think a gesture that would impress the Koreans will
cost ... or are we just going to let them (and the Chinese) kick us
out of the western Pacific?

Whooo.... you're quite the war monger all of a sudden. Unfortunately,
you're not as well read as you claim.

The Chinese are already encroaching on Japanese (Senkakus) and
Philippine (Spratly Islands) territory. Now N Korea has virtually
declared war on the south, abrogating the peace treaty.

Holy ****! The nukes are already flying. Or not.

Yeah, things are going to be fine. Sleep tight.

Things are going to be fine. I do sleep fine. Clearly you don't.

I am certainly concerned. I have already lived through 2 major wars in
Asia.

The lesson being we might as well be paranoid in the extreme.

I also understand we are still saber rattling in the middle east.
What do we do about Iran in all of this?

Continue the pressure. All options on the table.

The fact that we are broke just empowers these people. We will have to
borrow money from China to have a war with them.

We are not ****ing broke. Money is flowing into the US not out.
Everyone wants in for their money. Interest rates are cheap. We need
to spend some on our citizens and get the infrastructure fixed.

As I said, the ****ing sky is not ****ing falling. Go back to sleep.
