But from a political stand point SS and Medicare should be last, not 1st on the chopping block

It's amusing yet sad to watch conservatives in a frenzy to defend government-run wealth redistribution and government-run health care.

There are a steady stream of them on FR. I've been on this forum for over 15 years. Initially, I thought they were trolls, but then I stopped being naïve. They're for real.

The government teat extends well into the ranks of conservatives.

I don't know if it's a refusal to face the math, an inability to grasp the math, or an attitude of "I paid, now I want mine. Damn the next generation." Maybe it's a combo of all three, but it's not helpful and it gives Democrats support for not reforming entitlements and continuing to expand them.

It's sadly tragic to see Forest Gump's Mama's words come to life...Stupid is as stupid does.

We're in a war of attrition, and the definition of futility is attacking an ememy's strength.

Misrepresenting a poster who suggests strategy rather than stupidity is contemptible, and reflects much more poorly on the accuser than the accused.
