Yes, there have been so many studies of this sort over the years.
A major study was initiated by Obama. The Simpson/Bowles commission studied all of this and made recommendations to deal with. Obama chose to ignore his own commission.
Instead, liberals demagogue and say Paul Ryan wants to throw Grandma off the cliff, rather than have intelligent discussions of the issues involved.
How do you deal with liberals who won’t discuss the real issues, who refuse to admit there is a problem, etc?
Liberals and RINOs will not do what needs to be done, because they love their elected office more than they love the country. That is simply all there is to it.
I bet a lot of people here might be surprised to realize that most if not all Dems KNOW that we are on a unsustainable, financial path and that the Dems KNOW exactly what must be done. But that would mean cutting off the gravy train and that would mean political suicide to the Dems and half of the Repubs.
So they will chose the path of Obama: ignore the bad news, push the agenda and blame Bush and the republicans for all problems.
