Quote from ang_99:

David Walker was appointed during the clinton administration..

Perhaps he's trying to make the GOP look bad...

Maybe... But the GOP is making it very easy for him on every front... As a conservative i have to ask myself how did these Exec Branch Goofballs get into office and how are they allowed to stay there...

Mission accomplished. America weak, broke, borders wide open, people enslaved with debt, ingnorance and poverty. Easy pickings after that. Give these politicians enough time and they can do anything.

Quote from Sponger:

Easy pickings for what.....for the government to come in on a big white horse to save the day by further subjegating the masses via more intrusion, more curtailing of individual freedoms, enacting martial law...."don't worry, big brother knows how to fix all of this, just do what we say"........

Quote from Mercor:

Back when Reagan was accused of breaking the bank...It was said it would take generations to balance the budget, but by 1998 it happened....

The economy will double every 12 years ,revenues will double at least. As long as we stop stupid spending like, social security, medicare, ...we will have plenty of money.

We all need to grow up and be adults not dependents of the govt.

Well said!

I would add: if you want to depend on the government, go to venezuela or cuba, let's see how you do.
 
And lets cut back on those pesky hospitals and schools too

Quote from Sponger:

Good evening, America. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, President Bush. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of the White House, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

Remember, remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

Nice to see there's still someone here who sees the state of the once great America and the direction it's going.

Eliminate Medicare, fine by me, it's a disaster. In fact let's eliminate the entire US medical system -- it's a hopeless mess. But, come on now, you've got to be joking when you say eliminate social security. You want to eliminate a government program that actually produces a surplus each year? One of the few government programs that's worked beautifully, exactly as intended. And what's more, only minor tweaking is needed to make it financially sound for the rest of this century. To guarantee the same monthly benefit with any private investment program you can come up with, you'll have to put aside a lot more of your hard earned money every month than you're paying now into S.S. And where is the government going to get the money it needs to kill people in Iraq if it doesn't have the social security trust fund to borrow from?
 
Quote from clacy:

The truth hurts and it sucks hearing things like that, but that is one doomsday prediction that I do give credence to.

I wish that I could tell you that the Republicans would champion that cause, but they have been as bad or worse than the Dems on spending recently.

Why is there a surplus? Because.....the Boomers huge populations has funded the system for 30 years and the payout population is much smaller. Now it is going to reverse, more recipients then payers.

SS monies now return 2-3% in govt. money market funds....A private citizen can double that with a guaranteed bond.

It is a system the exploits minorities and the poor.
The life expectancy for blacks and poorer people is 67. They pay SS all their life and only receive 2 or 3 years of checks. Then when they die the Govt. keeps all their money..In a private system at least the retirement fund could go to support the grieving family...(of course after the Democrats take their estate taxes first.
