Thankfully we seem to be gathering steam against their tryannical push. I know plenty of people who had voted democrat for years that are spitting mad at the current congress.

Their efforts I am hoping will continue to create a bigger backlash. We are Americans first and foremost. We still have the ballot box to oppose those who seek to destroy our way of life.

We still have God, most importantly!

“This happens quite often with public school funding too.”

Usually, I find it’s when they talk about cutting coaches for football.

Always remember that life is a series of boxes:

1. The Soap Box to voice your political views.
2. The Ballot Box to vote your principles.
3, The Jury Box for justice from your peers,
4. The Moving Box to start over again.
5. The Cartridge Box when 1 through 4 fail.

They are communists. Medicare can be made functional. So can social security.

No they can't. Not unless your definition of functional doesn't include the concept of actuarial soundness.

There's nothing behind Social Security except IOUs assigned to our grandkids.

Any extra tax revenues that might be envisioned via economic growth, have already been promised to banksters through the growth of the national debt.

You also must be a Marxist, if you think these socialist programs can be made to work. Maybe the monarchist Bismark did invent them as an attempt to co-opt the left, but the basic idea is a leftist transfer of wealth, and that never works in the long run.

No it just has to be changed in to a private system for the young people and pay off the old folks.

Sounds more like dismantling it than making it 'functional'. It'll be dead and gone in 1 generation.

I have medicare and don't care if changes are made for the good of the country....Since I didn't enroll for prescription coverage, that doesn't bother me either....Someone else's grandchild should not have to pay for my drugs....

Even if cuts were make in SS I am fine with that, but many people put their retirement chips in the program and cuts to them can make a big difference...>P> No one has a choice, even the real rich get social security...(I think) My medicare premium is taken out of my SS before I get it...The 20% for the difference between medicare coverage and what is charged is going up hard....That 20% difference is at about 300 dollars a month for 1 person...What the government insurance cost to me is about 150 dollars a month...It goes up every birthday and raises quite slowly..>P> Not sure if my number is true or not, my SS is directly deposited in the bank and I only get a cost breakdown at the month of my birth... I do know its over 100 dollars a month...(not complaining, this is just FYI about SS and medicare...)Birth month is Jan....
