Normal folk actually have to pay interest on debt accrued.

The socialist security system should face the same axe as everything else, including all other welfare.

Reduce the government to those few things mentioned specifically as its duties in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, and the overspending problem disappears.

[OKSooner]

You go girl.

I absolutely agree about SS. Try running that by the voters, though. And “having to” pay interest leaves that out of consideration.

[zeugma]

You pay the interest, or you default on the debt. That would cause almost as many problems as it solves. That is about the only thing that can't be cut. everything else should be on the table for a 20% cut. everything.

[gloryblaze]

Of course. That’s my point. How far do you think a plan to cut, just for example, SS by 20%?

Just suggesting these things is one thing, and easy. Enacting them is another, and dang hard.
