"I guess this means I can't count on your vote next election cycle?"

Yes, if the R's run somebody who actually has a different platform than Barry.
I won't vote for Romney under any circumstances. The only way to get RINOs in Congress to stand up to the progressive platform is if there's a D in office, or a Reagan. And even with a Reagan, they drag their feet.
Chris Matthews is loving this:
The inflation in medical and living costs that will bankrupt SS and Medicare was caused by Alan Simpson & his cronies. As was the inflation in expenditures caused by letting every vagrant who wanders across the borders onto the SS and Medicare lists.
That things don't add up should be an argument for jailing folks like Alan Simpson who promised that they would add up, not for getting nasty about the folks who got robbed.
Having paid into medicare all my life, I now would rather drop it altogether, but I'm not allowed. Eventually, it seems my entire SS payment (which is fixed) will go to medicare (which is not), and it's likely that whatever medical support I want won't be covered by medicare.

Thankee. And it was 1965, not 1968.
Consider the last four presidents the Democrats have given us:
1. LBJ 2. Jimmeh Cahtuh 3. Der Schlickmeister 4. Obozo
Who was the most competent? Clinton?
Who had the most integrity? Carter?
On the other hand, who was the more corrupt?
And who was the most utterly incapable?
Talk about a "slow track"...
This email was in response to Simpson’s comments that baby boomers were “greedy”. These comments came while he was serving on Obama’s debt commission.
That's true - but dems and their butt boys in the press kept VEEEEERY quiet about it until just recently. They also kept secret the fact that Senator Byrd was a former KKK member. Odd how dem secrets have a way of NOT coming out.
Alan Simpson: Social Security Is Like a "Milk Cow with 310 Million Tits!"
But they were never “safely tucked away in an interest bearing account”, and even if they had been, they would not have come close to being enough.
Free health care without rationing requires European-Canadian levels of taxation. Anybody who says otherwise is an idiot or a liar.
No person currently receiving Medicare has paid for what they consume. Not even close.
“No person currently receiving Medicare has paid for what they consume. Not even close.”
But don’t all the people who paid medicare taxes then die before even taking a penny in benefirs make up the difference?
I have said the same thing about that old geezer on FR. He is a political jackass that thinks he’s funny....just another one sucking at the tax payers teet all his life..
Even at *that* level of taxation, rationing is still present. Why else would any Canadian, European, et al with two nickels to rub together comes *here* for any major health care? Do you believe that is a coincidence?

That has zero to do with my argument about Medicare.
Medicare provides free unlimited on-demand healthcare for its "beneficiaries", and it is currently collecting about ten cents on the dollar to cover payouts.
IF persons >65 are going to continue to receive free unlimited on-demand healthcare taxes have to be massively increased.
Only in our idiot political system is that even remotely controversial.
And, yes, since I know that taxes are not going to be increased, it follows, ipso facto, that the gravy train is going to end.
Who the hell is going to sign up for that?
“Maybe” but she’s had SRS since February when he originally sent it.
His/Her point #3 seems to imply that when I pay into SS the money is put into an account for me later, which has never been the way SS was implemented.
