Maybe since Walmart & Target are reducing certain 'script drugs to $4.00 per monthly fill the US govt. will find a way to reduce it's SS checks/payouts based on that consumer savings alone... Kinda like a reverse COLA. JMHO We're stuck up in EH, NY with automobile malfunctions.?.?.? Couldn't pick a better place to break down ;^) Tim

Sarge We know all that. We know that there is no Social Security surplus. We know that huge trade and budget deficits, enormous and unfunded SS and Medicare liabilities and a 9 trillion dollar national debt will haunt this country in the future and have an ugly impact on the futures of our children and grandchildren. The craven pols we send to D.C. won't do anything about SS because anyone who tries will be tossed out of office in the next election. It is the third rail of American politics. Touch it and you are dead. "We have met the enemy and he is us"......Pogo via Walt Kelly I can see your heart is in the right place but you are tilting at windmills here. Anyone who is not comatose already knows this. John
