I am sick and tired of the Democrats blaming the Iraq war for our economic woes. The fact of the matter is the U.S. government incurs a deficit of over $3 TRILLION EACH YEAR paying for these programs (see http://www.usatoday.com/money/2006-08-02-deficit-usat_x.htm)

Your right. I propose that anyone making over 250,000
a year should forgo there social security benefits. That should help a lot.

Your [sic] right. I propose that anyone making over 250,000 a year should forgo there [sic] social security benefits.
An inordinately stupid, and ultimately self-defeating proposal. Even for a liberal.
After all, you can’t really claim it’s an entitlement program if the people who paid into it are no longer “entitled” to the benefits. Besides, once your $250,000 limit is enacted (please note the dollar sign!), the Left’s whole specious argument about Republicans trying to take Social Security away from those who’ve earned it goes right down the rhetorical drain.
Of course, in fairness, Obama’s “plan” to “save Social Security does no such thing. But that’s hardly a problem for conservatives.

Then what are they paying into it for? The good of the country?
The government (and you) should just butt out. Can you handle minding your own business?
Sorry for getting so personal, but you’re the one who is sticking his nose into other people’s paychecks. The fact of the matter is, you made it personal.

To allow our leader to continue unchecked is pure folly they have dug us a grave so deep with debt that our children’s children’s children will not be able to pay it back. There is i fear only one way to show washington who’s country they live in and who indeed they answer to. stand up for yourselves look around you is this what this country was founded on, i say know we do not have freedom of religion we have freedom from religion. free speech is going next along with the second amendment. ladies and gentlemen our leaders have created the problems we are currently struggling with and the dear esteemed speaker of the house nancy dear nancy has told you to eat cake. question is how do we respond ladies and gentlemen they have power only as long as we allow them to.

Don’t kid yourself. We live in a nation that wants big government. We live in a nation that calls the limiting of entitlement growth as a “cut”, for which we can thank the ”progressives” for burdening this country with that mindset.

America has the government it deserves.
