There's always that Freeper contingent that reminds me of Ebenezer Scrooge saying that the poor had better die "and decrease the surplus population."

There two contingents.
The other is Ebenezer II, saying that if the idle, the unproductive, the hedonists, the unprepared, the "eat drink and be merry" crowd, the irresponsible are all destined to meet the consequences of their actions, it is preferable if everyone should die instead.

Take your choice.

There is no Money Fairy.
There is no Social Security lockbox.
There is no Medicare lockbox.
There is no stash of Obama Money.
The remaining employed taxpayers can't support themselves AND the groups listed above. Literally can't.
if you are normal, you can't imagine what $20,000,000,000,000 is. We have been "borrowing" to fund the pollyana society we "enjoy."

Whom do you suggest we borrow from to continue spending money we don't have?

Are you more than ten years old?

" if the idle, the unproductive, the hedonists, the unprepared, the "eat drink and be merry" crowd, the irresponsible are all destined to meet the consequences of their actions, it is preferable if everyone should die instead."
and this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you sir are indeed an egotistical self centered piece of human garbage. You listed some thing in your post. Here is my reply to them: I agree there is no money fairy. I have saved for 35 years, paid my mortgage, and did things according to the book. I would have retired at 50( not from a pension, or government handout, but from my own savings. Alas, cannot sell the house, IRA took a major hit ) My home is not upside down, but is now worth less than i paid for it 22 years ago...I guess this is my own fault. You are right. There is no social security lockbox. I get a statement every year from them, telling me how much I have paid into the syste. Give me back my 325,000.00 that I have paid into the system since I was 14 and a half years old, and I will never ask the government for another dime. There should not be a medicare lockbox. Hell, I have a disability from my time in the military, do you think I can get a dime from the VA? If I cannot get a dime for a service related disabilty, who the hell has the right to govenment health care? Want to get the cash to spend on our people? Get out of the UN....stop financing foreign debt.....stop paying farmers not to grow food...stop the obscene pensions and lifetime benefits politicans give to themselves....this could go on and on...to take a group of people who, through no fault of their own, are in a predicament that our gevernment had directly caused, and call them lazy, or any other name, makes you a self centered bastard.
