Learn to read. I said RELATIVELY it’s not an issue. It IS a drop in the bucket! Oh well, keep thinking it’s fine to kick the 100 gallon can down the road and go and complain about the coke can.

Your argumuments are very weak.

Their are more millionaires and billionaires than ever.

It is the middle class that is paying for everything.

The Iraq War cost 2 Trillion dollars the entire Social Security trust fund is 3 trillion.

Funny how you don’t complain about stupid wars or call them socialism.

Hahah, you think there’s a trust fund. Big fan of Al Gore’s lockbox talk eh?

Those wars are a drop in the bucket compared to entitlement spending in the USA. Wouldn’t change a thing.

More bull shit. We're talking many *trillions* and ya say it wouldn't change a thing?

Not buying what you're peddling slick.

Some estimates have the Iraq war up to 3.5 trillion, where we won nothing but debt and death.

Then throw in Afghanistan’s trillions, then the Vietnam debacle costing who knows what, then ad in hundreds of billions for illegals every couple years...

And ya say none of this makes a difference? You’re so full of cheet.

Wouldn’t it clear up cuts and other issues if ss had its own purse instead of sharing it with entitlement programs? Folks pay into it, it’s their money, it should not be sharing it’s revenue with other programs.

Well, that’s the old left canard that military spending is a waste while socialist butter is good, right?

And relatively and long term yes socialist spending is far more. Nothing I said is wrong. Sorry man.

I’ve gotten a LOT more out of social security entitlements than I put in. Not saying my age, sorry. It’s been great for me. But it’s pure communism anyway.

He's is a fraud. Check out his post #48. I quoted it above. He claims he has drawn 20 times more from SS than he paid in. He will not say his age. He has a bent hard on for 'boomers'. He's a fraud and the way he navigates the forum tells me he's a retread fraud on top of it.

Republican’s like you do more to help the democrats than anyone.

More war, less social security, tax cuts for Multinational corporations. Yea that’s the ticket to power!/s

Hopefully you’ve been paying into social security longer than you’ve been a member on FR.

Of all that, the only one I’ve supported is massive cuts in retirement entitlements. I never said ‘more war’. I’m not sure where you people are getting this idea that saying entitlement spending is bigger and worse than defense is wrong in any way.

It’s weird. People aren’t even looking at the links and facts I’m reporting. They just have a pre-determined mindset and stick to it.
