Re: Stop the spending!!!!
Let's start by eliminating all social programs, including Social Security, Medicare, and Welfare. Those are the programs that will bankrupt us. Sorry, but even though you paid into it, it doesn't really mean you are entitled to it. The amusing part of this is how many people who are absolutely resolute that SS is "owed", a "trust fund", and "a duty" are in support of means testing. The only "means test" we need is "does the government have the means to fulfill its promises?" The real problem is Medicare which is approximately $80 to $100 trillion under water, whereas SS is around $10 to $20 trillion in the hole. Plain and simple, and this is the truth, which is gonna hurt some folks feelings, but anyone who insists on receiving SS in any way shape or form is simply a thief asking the government to do their dirty work for them. Furthermore, these welfare programs (SS/Medicare/Welfare) are all examples of Socialism/Statism/Marxism at its best.
