I agree.

Though prepare to get slammed as all the fair weather “fiscal conservatives” scream “ITS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!”

““ITS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!””

There is something about this issue that makes people think they can, themselves, rule by edict.

You pointed out the most common one. Other honorable mentions are:

“First cut welfare for illegal immigrants (or insert favorite program here) before you cut MY benefit”

“Cut Congressional raises”

“Cut Federal salaries”

All of which are noble thoughts, but have negligible effect on the overall solvency of the nation and ability to pay any remaining entitlements.
