Buahahahaha!!!! One statement by any one ex-senator, especially one Republican ex-senator, doesn't prove anything about what an entire group you label "the Leftists" think.

OTOH, Your dumbass post goes a long way toward showing that thinking isn't your strong suit. :p

jeez, I thought I looked bad waking up in the morning. But I guess that's what rabid leftism can do you to you.

Also, I don't call it Liberalism anymore. Real liberals endorse personal responsibility, individual freedom, and respect for the law of the land.

The New Left has made it very clear it supports none of these things, hence them forfeiting the title "liberal" which used to have some honor attached to it.

As far as this the OP goes, yea, he was an "ex-Republican," in the same way that Bush was a "Republican." They don't care about personal freedom and economic independence, they only care about furthering government power. And all you suckers are perfectly happy to let them do it.

Nice spin attempt, but Alan Simpson is anything but a "Leftist". Your OP is still a Major Fail.

I think the OP and others need to go back and read what Simpson was trying to imply.

He is essentially saying that SS and other government programs have become the milk cow that the entire country is trying to live off of.

We as a country have to come to the realization that SS and medicare can not survive in their current forms without driving the country into bankruptcy.

Reagan milked them most, second is GW Bush, third is HW Bush, Clinton actually paid back into them and Obama hasn't touched it yet.

So you are basically complaining about the people you cheer and somehow you can fix that up to make sense in your mind with a little cocain or something?

THINK! It IS required from voters in a democracy.

$2.8 trillion in deficits in two years??? He has touched more than anyone every else in history put together.

Remember: more deficits now = less ability to pay SS later

Why does everyone always double-down on their fails? Some time you just have to cut your losses.

It's still absolutely perfect for epic fails like the one we have here. I mean even you recognize it.

Didn't read most of the comments in this thread.

I find no fault with his reasoning. SS either needs to be scrapped and replaced with adding personal finance/responsibility coursework in high school/college, or outright privatized. Preferably before it reaches the point where a revolution is needed to fix it.

The way to save social security is to keep the tax in place but not pay any benefits to people under 30.

Are you saying that those who are 30 or less should never get benefits; or are you saying we should cut off SS payments for persons under 30 (ie disability)?

Had breakfast yesterday with some friends that I used to work with. We're all except for one, retired. One of the guys had just gone down to the SS office to get the ball rolling as he's rapidly approaching 62. He said he sat there for an hour or so even though he had an appointment.

He related that he was the only, the only, person in the entire place that appeared to be of retirement age. He said that the place was full of younger people and young families too. He asked about this when his turn came up and the individual he was talking to looked around to see if anyone was within earshot and told him under her breath that that's how it was in there every day. She said that from her vantage point it appeared that everyone was out to bilk the government out of money.

Needless to say I agree with you wholeheartedly. We can meet these problems head on, suffer some pain and hopefully come out better at the end, or we can ignore them in hopes of passing them on to "the next guy" and seal our fate. Our elected officials will choose the latter. Of that I'm certain.
