Tell Congress: No Unfair Cuts to Medicare and Social Security

Right now, Congress is considering deals to pay the nation's bills that
would include dramatic cuts to Medicare and put the health of millions
of older Americans at risk.

We can't allow Congress to balance the budget on the backs of America's
seniors

I do have a problem cutting social security. It soud be the last one
chopped. While people had the misguided idea government would manage it
well, it is an obligation that was paid for. Cut welfare first, as
welfare didn't pay squat into it. Plus the payroll tax is there for
social security.

But the say fact is that decades of fiscal mismanagement of SS has left
it crippled. Government borrows and wastes the moneys, pays well below
inflation diluting the value of it every year. Like a parasite sucking
slowly and surely.

Medicare and medicaid, why not merge the two and lower the service
levels, make it more efficient and less costly? Sorry, not everyone can
go out costing $3 million for heart, lung, kidneys...there has to be
rationed limits.

The big hack should be military, general administration and over all
efficiencies. Michelle for example, 50+ staff? You're kidding right?

A good law to slide into government might be no raises for any civil
servant until the budget is 100% balanced for one budget cycle. A
little motivation to get the lead out.

If unions, governemnt or people sanely cared about pensions, pensions
would be in your name, in your account and in your control, and if some
central authority want big pools of money, they would have to borrow it
from you at defined terms acceptable to you. No more skimming and
bamboozling. Social security, employee and employers part, company
pension, all go into the IRA/401K. Current pension plans are total
bullship, except for government elite with the gold plated indexed
plans. Sort of an eglitarian aristoracy to be government these days.
They should get and use the same benefits as they provide.

But big fat government is about milking and managing the herd for the
egalitarianism in our societies. Taxation and government has turned out
to be modern day slavery.

Say no more debt, no more debt-slave taxes. Economic freedom matters too!
