When are they going to take a serious look at military? Gates and others say there are costly programs that need to be trimmed and streamlined. Also when are we going to look at big agriculture? How much money are the agrigiants like Cargill and Monsanto getting from our pockets?
ON the subject of social security, why are only the bottom 90% of salaries being charged a percentage. Perhaps some will feel it is unfair to charge against income above $106 (or some similar figures). But I’ll bet a lot of people who used to earn more than that, and now have lost jobs or been forced to take much lower paying ones, wish that money had been put away for them when they were earning their big salaries.
Pssssssst. It wasn't ever "put away". It was spent.
Nobody misses it -- besides the spenders. I guarantee.
