110. Who of his appointees
Edited on Mon Jun-28-10 01:55 AM by jeanpalmer
is going to advocate stopping the wars and cutting defense spending?

That quotation from from the Brookings Institute is another way of saying "cut SS." When these people want to reduce SS benefits, they treat SS like a separate program, with separate funding and accounting. When they want to raid it to fund wars and other pet projects, they treat its revenues as part of the general fund. It has been a fraud perpetrated on the people by the likes of Rivlin and the other 5 of his appointments. Name one of them who advocated cutting SS taxes when too much was being taken in, instead of stealing the money for wars.

By the time the average Democrat wakes up to what's going on here, it will be over.
