    I am speaking for myself, hence "I THINK".

    And I THINK WE should be spending less money too. But cutting discretionary spending isn't going to do . And cutting the major en lement programs is going to send a chunk of America into the third world.

    You're only addressing half (maybe even less) of the problem.
    No, I'm addressing way more than half the problem...they budget projections aren't from defense spending...



    I think I read somewhere, the other day, that the deficit for a single month, this year, was larger than all the deficits racked up during the Bush administration, combined.

    There's your problem. This administration doesn't know how to stop spending.

    I don't get Social Security. And, when (or if) they do start, I'll start returning them when I get all I've put in back, plus interest.
    Then you won't be returning anything.

    about the en lement spending, but you want yours. Times 100 million other instances.

    So you're a big government welfare queen after all.

    So we're back to a circle jerk about NPR and Big Bird and whatever remains of the federal budget outside of the en lement programs and the military, while we wait for Yonivore to take the lead in putting his money where his mouth is, as he expects Mr. King to do.

    You're right. It's a big Ponzi scheme in which they've taken my money -- pretended to pay it out to Social Security recipients -- but, actually spent it on other .

    I'm actually in favor of forfeiting my future Social Security payments if they'll quit taking money out of my wages that ostensibly go to the Social Security Trust Fund.

    I'm not the one saying I should be paying more in taxes; he is.

    Wow, Yoni's taken a different point of few. This could be the first time in history.

    It's big government commie socialism when it's someone else's check, and it's 'my money' otherwise.

    I'm sure we can make a dent in the current and future federal deficits if those who believe the government spends too much send back their checks or pledge to do so.

    No, my "money" is what I've been contributing to the Social Security Ponzi Scheme for the past 40 years. I would like that back.

    Many Social Security recipients haven't put a dime in. And, Social Security isn't the only en lement out there.

    No conditions. Don't take the money. What's the problem? You didn't think those deductions weren't a tax, did you?

    You paid taxes. And it's half of en lement spending.

    If they'll quit taking it, they can keep what they have to pay down the debt.

    It wouldn't be half of en lement spending if those who never paid into the program weren't receiving checks from it.

    I don't think I'll ever see a dime from Social Security. I just wish they'd quit taking it out of my check.

    Further, it's those who came before and after Yonivore who are the lazy drag on society. Yoni just wants his handou...er, money back.

    The circle is now complete.

    Now just convince every other mindless conservative to forfeit their Social Security, Medicare, etc. and you're in good shape.

    Oh, good luck with that by the way.

    Who might those be, under the age of 130?

    Actually, I don't. If they'll quit handing it out and quit taking it out of my wages, they can use my contributions to pay down the debt.

    But, if they're going to continue being irresponsible with the money, yeah, I want what I've contributed back. With interest.

    So you think that everyone's checks should be cut, but you're not offering.
