Crazy that obamma has racked up an additional $6 trillion in debt in less than 5 years and now he wants to talk debt reduction? Very crazy indeed!

[dragnet2]

Now that everything has double and tripled in cost in the past 10 years, reduce Social Security for the elderly..

Meanwhile tens of millions of illegals aliens choke off our welfare, social, services, medical care etc....

yuk yuk

Actually, Social Security is NOT the drag on the budget deficit... Not adequate revenue... PERIOD!

Boehner is a socialist sell out and can go to hell!!!

Eliminate welfare, medicaid food stamps, and subsidized housing plus fire all federal employees that administer those programs with no increase I taxes~!

I wonder how all those obama votin’ gen exers and milliniums, or whatever they’re called, are going to like seeing their taxes go up and their bring home go down, while at the same time their parents’ and grandparents’ checks get cut.

A little pain for everyone. woo hoo!

Wow. I’m waiting to hear the Democrats and everyone else who threw a hissy fit when Bush wanted to reform SS rise up in anger against this proposal.

The cuts to Medicare look like actual cuts, and perhaps even more significant, use means testing to generate revenues, a strategy that both parties have avoided in order to maintain the illusion that Medicare (and Social Security, which acts as a qualifier) aren’t welfare programs.

Social Security and Medicare are NOT welfare programs.

I bought and paid for my Social Security and Medicare benefits. Can a Food Stamp recipient say the same?

cut the funds to the people that helped build America and keep it safe so it can give it to the useless eaters multiplying like RATS on welfare... wonderful
