My point is that it is better to deal with this now while the pain can be controlled and dealt with so that it is not lethal later on.
Look, I read abook called Creature from Jekyll Island, ad all of this is laid out n much detail. The book detailed for me everything that is really going on with this stuff and its horrible, but to me, if its a choice of having a way to minimize the pain v having it literally collapse the nation, which it might anyway, I prefer trying to resolve it now.
Is there anyone on this dboard who trusts the government to keep its word on anything? Why would anyone here allow them to go after SS unless ALL other nonessential spending was first halted.
History should be enough to enlighten everyone on this dboard that government will not be satisfied with simply cutting SS and calling it a day. If they get a reprieve they will only continue to spend more and more each and every day. Can anyone here refute this? I dare anyone to try as it cannot be done with lying.
How many of you live in states where the Lottery was the be all and end all to funding for public education. Well did your school taxes stop going up? I doubt it they sure did not stop in NYS.
We have to cut the food supply for fedzilla and force it to stop throwing our money away BEFORE we ever sit down at the table and discuss stealing more money from citizens who UNDER PENALTY of law were forced into this Ponzi scheme.
To follow the logic of some here Madoff should be allowed to spend his money on anything he wants and the people he scammed get nothing.
I would rather take the approach of making sure Madoff and his family are penniless and those who were scammed at least get some of their money back.
Finally, if we don't develop a backbone and force the feds to make the other cuts first then the cuts into SS will be deeper. Is that what you want?
