Peter, I think your response was illogical because: 1) How individuals handle their personal 'credit card' debt is not the same topic as the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S DEFICIT PROBLEMS. (Individuals can't issue sovereign debt!) 2) While I agree that SS deserves attention and change, you can hardly make a case therefore for IGNORING THE EVEN BIGGER AND MORE IMMINENT FISCAL PROBLEMS. 3) Especially since the federal budget problems (soaring debt, corrupt and byzantine tax code, deficit financed pork barrel spending, etc., etc.) are all inter-linked, ie: synergistically affected, I can see little logic in starting with an non-imminent 'problem' that is not even at the top of the list for fiscal problems... while totally IGNORING larger, and more imminent concerns. (I have no problem dealing with the issue --- as I've indicated with my support for the Pollack privitization plan --- but it DOES NOT JUSTIFY pushing away LARGER fiscal problems for an indefinite 'sometime, maybe, we'll get around to them... or the next office holder will...' treatment.
