It's easy to say spending should be cut as along as you don't say what spending should be cut. As soon as you start talking about SS, Medicare, Vets benefits etc, the protests begin. Ken, What you say is correct, the protests will begin. Do you support the protests? Do you think there is no need to cut those benefits?

You must have been a very weak parent. No doubt credit for any of your children's achievements must go to you wife. It's easy to say spending should be cut as along as you don't say what spending should be cut.

>>As soon as you start talking about SS, Medicare, Vets benefits etc, the protests begin. Ummm... A duh! It's called "playing politics". It's a gov't ploy to get the brain-washed ignorant lemmings like yourself to believe that the only ways to get the gov't in fiscal shape is either by cutting SS, Medicare, etc., or raise taxes. Ignorant bonehead's like you Kenneth actually fall for that BS... Time to wake up! I guess you personally don't mind the gov't making a fool of you...

That is correct. That is because Obama, himself, is citing these items and using scare tactics to scare people who have invested in social security all of their lives------declaring that if we don't fund the government with a higher debt and higher spending social security payments will stop at the beginning of August 2011. Obama is a "fearmonger"------who preys upon people using fear as his weapon. Using fear-----he implies that only "I the great Obama" knows what to do. Either increase the USA debt and spending or there will be no social security. Shame on Obama scaring people with untruths. The biggest savings this nation could have would be to cut off the lights in The White House in which Obama lives and send him back to Chicago.
