Thank God for a Congressman that is not afraid to speak the truth. Rep Boehner has just announced the ONLY plan to save Social Security that will protect the poorest Americans so that they may retire with some dignity. Social Security is as vital for the safety of the American people as our military. As millions of Americans wandering the street with no income searching for daily substanance and medicine would be catastrophic to our society. Before you vote for a candidate be sure you know their position on government programs. Most Republican candidates in my area are RINO's. Republican In Name Only and are really Libertarians in discise. They see the Tea Party movement as a platform to abolish Social Security, Social Services, Health Dept, Dept Education, Homeland Security, USDA, Dept Transportation and the list goes on. You say that's not fair to rich people. The federal government has never been fair to the rich people. They charge them higher income taxes while giving working families below the poverty line an earned income tax credit check. We are a Society. We may be having some trouble financially right now , but we're should still be the richest country in the world. We need to act that way. The Tea Party movement is not advocating Gutting the Federal gov, just stopping it's growth, and shutting down non nessesary programs and pay as you go. Zero deficit. The Government needs to live on a budget in thier means just like we do. Schip is an example of a program that the Democrats have gone wild with. That's medicaid for children. It used to be for families under 125% of poverty level. The Dems raised it to under 300% of poverty level. In NY a family making up to 83K qualifies for free medicaid for thier children. That just wrong. it needs to return to 125% of poverty level. And with your help in November we can make that happen.
Amen! I have so much respect for Rep. Boehner as he follows the Constitution. I still think the thieves that robbed Social Security should be jailed! God bless.
