Cutting half of the DoD budget is a good start but if you ignore
SS/Medicare you will never get a handle on the deficit.

The rest may be good symbolism but they are insignificant.

Completely untrue and misleading as usual.

What is untrue? You don't think SS and Medicare are a budget buster in
the out years?

SS/MC are not in trouble right now. They will be if nothing is
changed, but NOT RIGHT NOW.

WTF? Both are paying out more than they take in. In any other business
that is called running at a loss. There is no likely scenario that
will make that get any better. One of the current proposals is to
remove the FICA tax altogether so they do not have to perpetuate this
lie of "insurance" or "an investment". SS/Medicare will just become
welfare. That will make it easier to ration, means test and alter
benefits.

So what. That's a long-term problem not a short term one.

Social Security reform is about ripping people off that paid far too
much into it. Hey, they got your money now they don't want to pay good
on the promise. DC is welshing in the people, their own people.

Hey, it should be eliminated. But the tax and employers part should be
contributed to an account in the employees name, in the employees
account and under their control, and not able to withdraw until 60 or
so. And withdrawals need to be controlled as not to blow it on drugs
and the like.

This way government skimming and bamboozling can't diminish its value.

Pooling money schemes, be they government SS or defined plans, they are
garbage plans designed to hide the skimming and slight.

In an ideal world, the idea of government pension is a good one. But
the real world, such pooled plans always get the political corruption to
rip people off as money like that attracts liberal leaches and political
parasites bad.

In your name, in your account and in your control. That is where you
want your pension and retirement. Keeps it away from the greedy liberal
spenders.

You're brainless.
