How on earth did we get to this point? Do our political leaders really believe that the American citizenry can continue to monetarily give, give, give to Mexicans, to Africans with Aids, to 3rd world countries, to tsunami victims, to earthquake victims, to drought victims???
The Congress (and I'm afraid, Bush now) don't give a rat's a$$ about taxpayers anymore. They are settled in their own little untouchable towers now. They vote themselves raises every year or more. Vote themselves more and more perks and benefits. I am sick of it all - just sick of it.
How can we the people start to fix this mess? Or is it fixable before the whole country slips down a sewer? Maybe our dear USA should collapse and be rebuilt. And we should forceably exile every dang Congressmen currently in office to Mexico, Africa, whatever their favorite 3rd world country of choice they would like.
I'm speechless.
You're missing the real trick here.
Right now now they're paying in.
In the not-too-distant future, however, SS is going to collapse. There won't be anything from which to collect. Most of 'em will lose all they payed in.
