If he cuts 10 trillion over 10 years and the economy grows 3 to 5 percent, we could finally start to reverse the direction of the debt.

Long term though, SS and Medicare are the killers.

I’m 48 and I want my SS, so I dont want it cut for those getting it now. Besides, the interest rate has been 0 forever so no raises in Benefits for a while now.

SS is the only thing too many older folks get.

I dont know the answer. Raising the retirement age?

We need to abolish civil service and restore the spoils system.

Spoils systems = Republicans have those jobs under a Republican President, democrats have those jobs under a dem president

Civil service = democrats have those jobs, period.

Reformers in the late 19th Century were well intentioned but did not foresee big labor and it’s malicious partisanship.
