“So your kids will suffer...so will mine. I don’t see that you answered my question about what government bloated departments could be shut down to save our children.”
I earlier gave an answer that would clean up entitlements and solve this stupid problem once and for all. But for your question, I’d start with Ag, then Education, then Housing, and plenty of others - that would all help a bit, but entitlements will catch up and we’ll be in this mess again in a decade.
“I think you are just p.o.’d about paying taxes in general. It really doesn’t have anything to do with your kids.”
I have more money, after taxes, than I know what to do with. It’s been that way for decades with me, simply because I always lived one step down from my income and didn’t borrow money (you’d be surprised, a lot of people do the same). So if my taxes went up a bit, life would actually get a bit easier, as I wouldn’t have to find places for my extra money.
But for all that, people like you are out to royally screw my kids - that’s what p.o.’s me. They had NOTHING to do with this debt.
We actually agree about one thing..over bloated government.
As I have already said, SS, Medicare and now Obamacare should never have been instituted, they are unconstitutional. But they were passed into law. I assume you vote and know that these were passed into law over our approval. Well, truth be known, I wasn’t around in the 1940’s and not able to vote in the early 1960’s. But I saw how OCare went down and assume it wasn’t much different.
I could well be surprised, but I don’t see a lot of difference coming in SS/Med or Ocare. Don’t blame me or “others like me” for “robbing your kids” (are you the only one in this country with kids?). If you have voted in your life you bear responsibility just like everyone else. If you didn’t vote, your responsibility is greater. But in reality..it made no difference, did it? I don’t think the Pubs have the intestinal fortitude or Senate votes to change things. The Dems will NOT dismantle their premier programs. So your kids and everyone else will pay, just like we have. Until things crash..and they will. Your anger is sorely misplaced..place your anger at the government.
I must congratulate you on your financial savvy. Trying to find enough banks to put your money in is a blessing. But, if you have that problem, there is no real reason that you can’t send the excess to the IRS. Even if the tax laws aren’t changed..they won’t refuse it if it will help you out.
