Dear Scumbria:
Your numbers do not add up. When we pointed out the fact that they didn't, you changed the subject and then after a few hours promptly forgot and told the same false thing again.
SS (and its kin MC) is the single factor to the swelling of debt in this country. The program needs reform badly. Clinton campaigned to fix it but, did nothing. He campaigned to fix MC and MA, and had a lot of noise but, did nothing. He had two years to fix them with all three (House, Senate, President) but, did nothing. All of his talk were on proposals that merely delayed the day of recognition. That is not a true fix. He had eight years and what happened? Nothing. He did the same as you are doing now, blame everyone else but, himself.
I have done something. I have written to my Representative(s) and Senators. I have voted for those who would change things. I have talked with my Representative and Senators when I saw him (or her (depended where I lived at the time)) at meetings. If you did not vote in the 2000 Presidential race, and not in your representative ones at all levels (local, county, state, and US), you have no business complaining.
I might be from the other party, but I do like the proposals from Feingold for campaign reform. I like what he did during the Ashcroft Confirmation Vote. He voted to extend a olive branch to keep the gridlock down. I liked what my Representative did in 94 to slow down the increases in spending and reduce the deficit. I like what a fellow Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan from the Green Bay District did and is continuing to do to reign in spending and and pay the debt faster (he would rather reduce the deficit first then taxes but, puts the blame on the old Houses as a whole for the mess).
I do something about things. Thus, I have the right to complain. What have you done to reduce the debt, oil consumption, power consumption, and waste?
