Oh, come now...I play a mean game of chess and can’t play checkers worth a blast. Don’t insult checker players.

Seriously, both sides in this argument are just holding out for bigger bribes. The public interest is irrelevant.

The problem is that half the country is living off the paychecks of the other half. No one is addressing that problem. Not substantially.

It’s similar to the process that finally brought us ObamaCare: years of negotiations and massive bribing for both sides.

There’s no difference between them—this last election proved that. Just as long as someone kicks up cash for 2016...

Come on now, nobody believes that. 82 million are under 19 (that is, they are minors), and 58 million are 65 and over (that is, mostly retirees). That right there is 140 million people in our population who aren't working. That leaves you at most 180 million to work and have babies, or create disabled working age adults.

If 47% of our 320 million population were NOT EMPLOYED that'd leave only about 20 million left to be employed if we simply exempt the elderly and the very young from the equation.

Try doing the numbers some time before you start believing a story told to you by Sean Hannity.
