Reply #155: Personally as far as SS and entitlements go, [View All]

giving tax money to Wall Street money managers won't reduce taxes. Second we should go more to pay go as we started doing before bush who has exploded the debt obligations exponentially and thus has created more of a crisis going forward. We shouldn't keep subsidizing oil companies with taxpayers money while they rake in record profits. We shouldn't extend tax credits to industries that take our manufacturing base overseas (thus losing both higher incomes and more revenues to cover costs). We already spend more per capita in health care costs than countries with government systems with less people covered which we have to cover in local county taxes. The only solution is reducing costs and either cut out the middle man or attempt some sort of solution where the middle man can't control the system. Just my opinion. I have a degree in Liberal Studies with concentrations in economics and government. I've been in private business all my life.

As far as politicians go, never totally trust them. But that being said, I trust Obama enough to vote for him.
