"Even if what you said were true, being a conservative is not a one issue viewpoint and I'm sure I could find issues in which your conservatism is tested.
I'm actually BEING a fiscal conservative by objecting to this plan."
How is protection of out of control government spending being fiscally conservative? See my other post for the details. In addition, don't forget that the political theives are spending the SS money today and they have been for a very long time. All SS surpluses have been spent in the general budget, therefore any shortfall comes from the general budget.
Because the fix costs more than the problem. I'm not willing to give the government $2 so I can control $1 of the $2 I give them. That would not be a sound financial decision.
