Maybe.
A large portion of their funds will be invested in Treasuries
No one has a property claim to SS funds. SS surplus has been supporting US debt for years. Treasuries may actually have more value when (R)'s put a stop to Obama's mischief. They can begin by taking Congress and defunding Obama's budgets and the debt that goes with it. (R)'s have a recent history of producing budget surpluses. Nothing says they can't do it again.
Private Pensions will have to be attached in some way
Maybe by the (D)'s (and they'd be hung first). Not by (R)'s if their budgets produce surpluses.
The Federal Budget will have to be cut/slashed
Of course it will. But isn't that the goal? Let the (R)'s bring it on and get the credit for doing so!
Whole departments are going to have to go
And you're mourning this likelihood? Why wouldn't you want the (R)'s to have the credit for solving these problems?
If you can promise me that the Republicans we all know and love can suddenly grow the cojones to lead during the coming very tough times,...
Let the (R)'s run on their promises You just make sure you get out there and vote for them and not any third parties.
I'll be happy to put on my happy face, and my game face, too. No way out except to open the Hurt Locker.
There you go again. Are you into pain or somehing? Conservatives ought to know better than to rely on the dour forcasts generated by static economic models. Freezing and reversing Federal spending, shaving off funding and downsizing government is the platform for (R) success and the people will be behind it.
General Petraeus in 2012! A militry man is needed who can talk very tough without turning off the wimps vote needed to elect him.
I like Petraeus. Promise me he won't be an Eisenhower.
FReegards!
