Oh golly, I think you are upset. He balanced the budget as it is defined, not how you define it. SS has been robbed of its money since the year it started. SS is a pay as you go program, nothing more and nothing less. We all know that. And yes, SS benefits will have to be cut to save it. Most literate voters understand there is no money in the SS system, but these same voters keep on voting the same people in over and over again, so it looks like you have to face a harsh reality.

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.

I refuse to mortgage my parents’ retirement and my family’s future for an amnesty and global warming loser like Gingrich.

Not going to happen. Get over it.
