yet you people are here "oh we should stop this and that" but then you use and rely on things they make... America being the face of evil my ass
Your social security check won't be worth much if the demorats take away our defense systems - if the demorats and ovomit have it their way, they would outfit our Army with paint ball guns.
Cut social security? How can you cut something people pay in their entire lives. Its like a bank saying it would "cut" their peoples savings accounts because they need money for new equipment.

Dodgeman, no one wants to equip our servicemen with anything less than the best. It's clear you're already angry, and I think that has kept you from hearing what they were really saying. Military spending is up 40% over the last 10 years #not including the spending on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars#. There's a lot of wasteful military spending that has nothing to do with those wars – and a lot that does. We can give our boys the best without lining the pockets of the fat cats.
so let me get this stright you want me to lose money that could save my life by giveing me new body armor or better training...so 20 year olds can collect unemployment after droping out of college? go fuck you self theres real people in the middle east fighting these terrorists and other people who want to kill you and your familys. try supporting our troops for a change.
So the economy has finally gotten so bad that now 'they want your retirement'. Bring all the troops home. Let the companies that hold all the free energy patents like General Electric allow those technologies to be developed. Ironic that they still call this "defense" as it is plain to see it's 99.9% offense. Can we rename this to offensive spending?
Stop calling ss and medicare "entitlement "programs ..they are savings accounts ..we pay for them our whole working lives. Entitlement programs are our tax $ to fund private co.'s for war profit.Before it was communists now it is the terrorists,invisable boogeymen with no end in sight. We go to war with countries that have no armies to steal their natural resources and feed the military industrial complex.

@NoCommentChick The union was the one who "backstabbed" Boeing by shutting down/slowing down their production and costing the company hundreds of millions of dollars. Boeing is trying to keep the union from destroying the company by putting one or more plants in different states. That's the intelligent and correct action to take to protect the company from the union. Congratulations, Boeing!!
"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

Send all of the politicians and their Wall St. masters over to the middle east to fight the so called "terrorists". America is run by the evil banksters; the merchants of death, poverty and destruction.
Fifty-60% of Americans (voting majority) have proven they prefer $4 Trillions of war DEBT rather than have a sound economy. Look at their votes last 12yrs.

Again a bad straw man argument. The cuts can come from many other departments not just entitlement programs like SS and Defense. We spent way too much money on stupid shit and then cry when we don't have enough for teachers and the police. We should prioritize our spending. We should always have a balanced budget - like what the GOP did in '92.
New World Order = Destroy the economy, enslave it's people, while the rich keep getting richer. You can't stop the inevitable! What has been prophesied will happen! and there is no two ways about it. Easy to believe Nostradamus, but not the bible which so far has been 100% accurate!
This isn't just an American thing, it's going global! and it'll just keep getting worse. You can't stop the Global Elites! You're cry's are in vain. You don't bring a knife to a GOVT INDUSTRIAL MILITARY GUN FIGHT!
@Acecool444- u don't attempt to fight at all - GLOBAL NON-COMPLIANCE is what's needed. if WE practice PEACE & refuse to kill each other 4 them, there would be no need for military budgets
@billsarebullyesyes You're right, but to get the entire world to stop believing in war and killing each other is futile. It will never happen. Just look at the police state of things. They get paid by Tax Payers, then treat them all like shit as if we were the enemy. As long as the "WHORES" get their paycheck, they could care less about AMERICA or it's sovereignty, or even GOD for that matter.
And yes, I just called those who brutally handle U.S. Citizens with an attitude of anger or self righteousness, Then Yes! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PAID WHORE! Not much different than MAFIA HIT MEN!
Mark my words, and am NEVER wrong in prophecy...YOU WILL PAY THE PENANCE for anyone you've ever incarcerated unjustly. That's no different than kidnapping you faggot pricks.
OK, Greenwald - as good as 'Iraq for Sale' - but, you know when you worked so hard to get Obomber elected that he'd already proposed expanding the war into Pakistan
now that we see him cozied up with fellow war criminals Sarkozy and Cameron in engineering NATO's destruction of Libya, for obvious re-colonization, and we ironically we see the ethnic cleansing of blacks at the hands of the so-called 'rebels', isn't a primary challenge called for?
It makes me furious that my social security, which barely meets my living costs, would be on the table. The next revolution will be lead by old people!!!
@nochoice101 SS is a safety net - not a retirement plan. It was never meant to support you entirely. You must save during your working years for your retirment years instead of looking for Uncle Sam to foot your bill. It is called self reliance.
@MrJohngalt2011- S. S. is a mandated supplemental RETIREMENT SYSTEM n US th@ was established n 1935 part of Roosevelt's New Deal. motivated by the Great Depression, which saw many Americans out of work & the nation's retired elderly often left n the direst of poverty. The ntent of the S. S. program is 2 nsure a threshold subsistence level below which any worker who PAID n2 the program cannot fall. and, yes, u should save more. 4 those th@ can't it's their RETIREMENT PLAN. WE PAID - DON'T TOUCH
SS was never envisioned as a retirement plan but an entitlement for the aged. And yes it should be altered to ensure its continued existance. We should touch it! We should increase the age eligibility to keep up with the longer lives that we all are living. When FDR put it is place the eligibility age was greater than the average mortality age in America.
@MrJohngalt2011- i'm aware of wh@ supplemental means. 4 those th@ cannot afford addn'l retirement monies, again, IT IS THEIR RETIREMENT PLAN. if they can come snatch something th@ we pay 4, it shouldn't b MANDATORY. when i retire & if i'm going 2 get less, i should pay less, not the same or more (SO THEY CAN KILL PEOPLE) if their allowed 2 do this 2 S.S. wh@ makes u think the retirement plans r safe? didn't they already hit the 401's? it appears PEACE is off the table, it's all about wars.
@billsarebullyesyes It is not a retirement plan it is an entitlement. If it was their retirement plan, they would receive what they pay in plus interest - they don't. their name would be attached to the payments into SS through the years, it is not. Current workers are paying current benefits. There is no savings and there is no individual accounts. The age to receive this entitlement should be raised to protect the program and to reflect the reality that we are all living longer.
@MrJohngalt2011- u r dealing with technicalities. 2 a person paying nto the system, it is a PLAN 4 their RETIREMENT. whether there name is attached, it follows them thru the years, or current workers r paying for it, they PLAN on & EXPECT it 2b there, or y pay it. raising age NO. who wants 2 work 2 almost 100? GIVE ME 20-30 yrs of freedom. stop using debt money & paying interest,which causes inflation, which causes them to use it. we do live longer but there's a lot of waste going on also

@MrJohngalt2011 People aren't living longer than when SS was started.
"Life expectancy" is measured from cradle to grave.
It's not that people are living longer its that they're not dying as children thanks to mandatory vaccinations to go to school to guard against childhood diseases.
@SpitfireOFatj what? Are you really this stupid or just a liberal? Avg life expectancy in the 35 was only in the low 60s. Now it is almost 80. People are living longer in retirement and there taking much more of SS than they ever paid into the system. This is why today SS is paying out more than it takes in and why it will be broke in less than 20 years. The why is far far less to do with vaccinations and more to do with end of life care and better plumbing (clean water, waste removal).
@MrJohngalt2011 The longer life expectancy is tilted toward the well-to-do who enjoy adequate, timely medical care all of their lives. Those doing hard physical labor are in poorer physical condition at an earlier age, and that means that, as a class, they won't live as long as the rich.
The big picture is: When will the masses begin to matter more than the handful of wealthy elite enriching themselves on US war spending? I understand the importance of the jobs picture in the states mentioned here. We should transition to clean energy and infrastructure rebuilding with those jobs. It can and should be done. If we're spending tax dollars on war be should be spending that money or a nation rebuild and energy system upgrade and renewal. This will create more diverse jobs overall.

The committee will cut SS & Congress WILL go along with it both Repubs-Dems because they have already borrowed heavily from SS. And THEY REALLY MEAN NOT TO PAY IT BACK!!! Folks... you & I, we've all paid into SS, thats our money. They're stealing our money from us. This is on top of bail outs... We need to come together, liberals, tea ppl & everybody in between for as long as we are divided, they will get away with it all. The time is NOW!!! lets not wait til its too late.

@SpitfireOFatj what? Are you really this stupid or just a liberal? Avg life expectancy in the 35 was only in the low 60s. Now it is almost 80. People are living longer in retirement and there taking much more of SS than they ever paid into the system. This is why today SS is paying out more than it takes in and why it will be broke in less than 20 years. The why is far far less to do with vaccinations and more to do with end of life care and better plumbing (clean water, waste removal).

@MrJohngalt2011 Oh, I see, you aren't a paid operative, you are just another parrot.
SQUAWK!!!!
Listen up. Social Security will not be "broke". It will simply be paying out more than it takes in. That can be fixed if we raise the cap.
Polly wanna cracker?

@MrJohngalt2011 The longer life expectancy is tilted toward the well-to-do who enjoy adequate, timely medical care all of their lives. Those doing hard physical labor are in poorer physical condition at an earlier age, and that means that, as a class, they won't live as long as the rich.

The big picture is: When will the masses begin to matter more than the handful of wealthy elite enriching themselves on US war spending? I understand the importance of the jobs picture in the states mentioned here. We should transition to clean energy and infrastructure rebuilding with those jobs. It can and should be done. If we're spending tax dollars on war be should be spending that money or a nation rebuild and energy system upgrade and renewal. This will create more diverse jobs overall.

The committee will cut SS & Congress WILL go along with it both Repubs-Dems because they have already borrowed heavily from SS. And THEY REALLY MEAN NOT TO PAY IT BACK!!! Folks... you & I, we've all paid into SS, thats our money. They're stealing our money from us. This is on top of bail outs... We need to come together, liberals, tea ppl & everybody in between for as long as we are divided, they will get away with it all. The time is NOW!!! lets not wait til its too late.
