But we do need to get into the "fiscal reality" game. There are government programs which were promised to people, and which we cannot afford. We need to take a step back and ask ourselves "What should government really be doing?" and I'd say that the answer is: "helping people a lot less".
Social Security is a TRUST, not an entitlement program like other government programs. There is a difference. We have the IOUs to prove it. Instead, supposed conservatives join the Democrats in calling for boomer heads.
