There are 330 million people in the usa and not every one of them can save like some and I just cant help it if I feel like I can pay a little more to help so be it. I cant bring myself to just say the hell with everyone less fortunate than me! I hear alot of ppl say they would rather the gov let them keep their money and save for any ailments they may have on their own. A few could but I dont think anyone here could ever save enough if you should have something drastic happen and need alot of treatment. A friend of mine had a child in icu for 2 months and that was a cool million which he could never pay in his lifetime so how would you guys go about paying for such a situation?
I have no problem with that little old lady collecting her social security and then some. She lived in a time when TIMES were good and she was PROMISED being taken care of.

I have HUGE problems paying for the welfare momma with 8 kids livin in the projects, who refuses to work, all the while laying on her back poppin out more welfare kids. White, black, yellow, purple, green, WHATEVER color....those folks DISGUST me, and we have more of those now than ever before.

THAT handout needs to end....PERIOD. I'd advocate forced sterilization in that case.....Man and WOMAN.

We have made it way too easy for people to LIVE off the system that was supposed to be a helping hand. And our current president has made the transition to welfare CRACKWHORE that much easier by extending unemployment for 3-4-5, 10, 20 years...........OK I know it has not been extended that long, but you get my drift.

We simply cannot continue down this path. When that little old woman was promised these benefits, there were 12 workers for every 1 person on Social Security. Now, we're at about 5-6 for every 1 person. That my friends is a formula for failure. Until the politicians step up and say ENOUGH, we will never fix it.

It is not rocket science.....Hell, even a CAVEMAN could understand that simple math.

Later,
