Heh. Now that I think about it, I have run across posts on FR similar to what you suggest, something like, "What next" or "Where do we go from here". I gotta be honest with you,"entitlements", especially SS and Medicare are pretty much cash, er, sacred cows. Even Freepers begin to tap dance when the subject is broached. NOBODY wants to talk about it. Which I suspect was part of the original "plan" in the beginning. Once people are "hooked", well, we see what's happening in places where austerity measures are being implemented.
BTW, have you ever run across Eric Cantor's YOU CUT site?
In any case, I don't think it would be a bad idea to post a thread asking specifically where Freepers would like to see cuts, that being PRIORITY #1. So gopher it. ;^)
It's gotta be talked about, but in the right way.
It isn't about cutting Medicare and SS, it's about streamlining it by cutting out the fraud and instigating another welfare to work program.
Plus making these unwed welfare mothers give up the fathers and make them take responsible for their spawn.
And quit paying little girls to have a string of babies to keep the "free" (read taxpayers) money flowing in.
The giant bureaucracies behind SS, Medicare, Education, Transportation, the IRS etc need to be cut to the bone.
Reduce gov worker's salaries (way above the private sector) and pensions for another plan.
The three counties around Wash DC have the highest median income of the whole country. That's gotta tell ya sumpin'!
