Title: Think for a Minute::
Post by: Terry on December 07, 2010, 07:25:15 AM
Think for a minute.                                                                                                         . .Do the wealthy rely on Medicare and Social Security for their economic survival? Uh, no. WE need those programs, but they certainly don't. The real story here is the massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich, in the disguise of  fiscal responsibility. We're going to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans by cutting programs that benefit the poor and the middle class.

"money won't last past 2014"  'i'm assuming 'U' mean SS?  If the Health Care bill doesn't get stopped or amended 'U' may be right.  If the government defaults on their loans or goes from a 'triple A rating' what we get won't be worth anything anyway.
