Terry O'Neill: Women Are Hurt Most By Debt Deal Cuts to Medicare, Social Security, Tuition

[crh2010]

why doesnt men ever matter to these people

Including my parents, majority seniors live on social security. Government is just keeper of Social security money and it belongs to seniors.

I see huge problem in government policy of prioritizing the ilegal aliens over senior citizens.  Government talks about cutting social sencurity and medicare but never mention about cutting free educations and free medical treatment for illegal aliens. If you add those free services over all cities/ counties/ state/ federal level, it will be mucho $

How much do we spend on pushing around and killing brown people....maybe we can stop pulling funds from caring for old people, kids and sick and maybe stop spending trillions on war.

jesus, bill o'reilly is such a patronizing asshole!

Dying civilization?

I dont see any studies that our races are going to die out. This congressman doesnt consider if we wind up with less people, we will have more resources to distribute to the masses. Plus, if we have a danger of dying out, people can refrain from birth control and make more babies if they wish.

And not like people will NEVER decide to have a bundle of joy with access to birth control. But they will have babies they want and take care of them. Less !oops! children.

Why didn't Obama create a budget? Didn't he control the House,and Congress,and WH?

Is there anybody like me, who thinks we need to start with a fresh foundation,and gut all Laws,Tax Codes,things we spend on as a nation.

Inorder to from scratch,inorder have a strong foundation for economic growth?

If the government has the money to take care of illegal aliens, then there is enough money. It is a matter of priorities.

Nancy Pelosi voted for the agreement. Of course, she is rich. Her husband is loaded.

[xoxak888]

I feel it is wrong to cut Medicare, Social Security while keep providing for illegal aliens. Obviously we don't have very limited amount of money to spend. Why provide for illegal alilens whle cutting benefits for senior citizens?

[moety2]

Everywhere you turn there is another problem all getting worst. maybe it's time to try something different. Clearly this system we have is failing us on so many levels.

Excellent reporting & analysis. Democracy Now is one of the precious few truly good media outlets.

Yes, let our Trillion $/yr Military-Industrial-Complex be Paid via donations. Also our massive Prison-Industrial-Complex. Both are already heavily privatized--so may as well stop funding them via public taxes!

[leestauf]

The true terrorists are the liberals who have strapped a huge "DIRTY DEBT BOMB" to their socialist chests and intend to blow up our economy either through criminal incompetence or criminal intent. It doesn't really matter which it is since the result is the same either way. Any thinking person with more than two functioning brain cells can see that is the Cliff they have us heading for. I just hope it doesn't need to come to just violence from the thinking, aware populace, to stop them.

@leestauf I politely disagree with your assessment good Sir

[leestauf]

@Sagefrakrobatik

May I hear a cognizant, fact filled rebuttal, or are you one of those who just "feel" about something instead of "THINKING" about it?

[ReignbowSmite]

@leestauf You still think America still has a functioning government... HAHAHA @ you!

Wake up, multinational corporations run your country, government and politics. Your votes are futile.

The terrorists are the corporations you guys deregulated to the point where they now own you. Corporations are using the government to funnel more money from you. The companies you bailed out are moving to Asia.

Just like Argentina, you'll be a banana republic soon.

[leestauf]

@ReignbowSmite Wow, are you talking about companies like GE, run by one of barry's good buddies, paying no taxes and moving their jobs to China? The guy barry hired to create jobs in America? LOL! That kind of corporation? "US GUYS" deregulated them? And here I thought it was barry that did the bailing out and giving away of taxpayers money! I'll bet you think the truly responsible people who are demanding an end to all the insane spending and give aways are the terrorists don't you?

[ReignbowSmite]

@leestauf YOU GUYS as in you AMERICANS! I didn't vote for any of the assholes you guys had in office post Kennedy, who were pushing for a free market and corporate human beings. I'm Canadian, so I'm not going to take any responsibility for decisions Americans made. The republicans and democrats sing different tunes but have the same economic goal and same corporate sponsors.

The terrorists are bankers and corporations working together.

@leestauf The point I was making is regardless of what your opinion is your comment adds nothing intellectually to the topic at hand. If you dont agree with the video than argue with the facts no need to use violent rhetoric to propogate your philosophy
