We don’t have a parliamentary system. If you don’t like the US constitution and prefer that system of government, there are plenty of countries to choose from.
Gingrich didn’t balance the budget. He and the other thieves robbed Social Security and left a huge IOU on the existing pile.
We’re supposed to learn from our mistakes, not repeat them.
SS is merely just another government pay as you go program and all politicians from both sides are responsible for this. You need to recognize that it is not going to change and you need to make sure you save adequately for your own retirement. It isn't quite fair to single out one politician out of tens of thousands who have participated in this theft. The voters are OK with it. It is not a campaign issue this year. It has hardly been mentioned, so I have to assume most voters are OK with it being a pay as you go program.
