Let Medicare go totally broke. ObamaCare will take half a billion dollars out of the program and start rationing care for the elderly who the government deems
“non-productive.”
Medicare only benefits the foreign doctors who flood Florida in order to make millions in Medicare fraud. Doctors should quit taking Medicare patients like me because they are pitifully underpaid for their services by Medicare. The Medicare paper-shufflers and the swindlers are the ones making the money.
ryan has one big problem when dealing with the dopes who elect people, he does not subscribe to the adage: tell the people what they want to hear and they never question what you say. If anyone was running an honest election, their mantra would be: The government needs to cut all entitlement and pension programs across the board by 20% immediately just to have a fighting chance of saving the nation. That means across the board, period, no sacred cows, no it is not fair...no nothing. From there they should be projected to go up less than the annual computed CPI, say 1-2% less then the CPI.
After that, the moochers need be told income taxes will be across the board beginning at 5% from dollar one. You get the beneies, you pay. You don’t want an army too bad, pay. You don’t drive, too bad, pay.
Assuming we get our current fiscal program in order with the above, then we can begin making some inroads on the huge debt we have accumulated. First order of business, no more trust funds, everything is pay as you go. Therefore any bonds we owe to ourselves, cancel them which would remove about 5Trillion for the over all debt...so no more accounting gymics about paying interest to ourselves.
