Nothing I said was false. And it never is unless it is a mistake. There were no mistakes in my previous post. >> The idea that SS that has for years brought in more money than it spent added to the deficit while the Trillions spent on those nonsensical Bush wars didn't is just completely bogus! SS is currently spending about 60 Billion/year more than it takes in. This will continue for decades to come. That money has to come from somewhere. And yes, it will come through increased deficits. >> The trillions spent on those wars will continue to only add to the deficit as we will pay for a generation of returning soldiers for the disabilities and help they deserve The < 2 Trillion spent on the wars during the Bush administration were the costs of going to war. It isn't something we, as a country, have ever hesitated over. We've always come up with the money when it was necessary to conduct a war, particularly in response to an attack destroyed a chunk of Manhattan and killed 3000 of our citizens on our land. Yes, the money had to be spent.

Most of us have read enough of inode's posts that we know he just literally makes stuff up and/or repeats obvious falsehoods that are generated by the right such as the trickle-down nonsense of giving tax breaks to the wealthy in order to "help" everyone else, or how they now blame the entire $19 trillion debt on Obama and also blame Obama for ISIS when ISIS was a consequence of George Bush's disastrous war of choice in Iraq It's quite remarkable the bubble they live in. Some probably know their rhetoric is nothing but lies but when you are in the cult you go all the way. Or just like the mafia. Once you're in, very hard to get out. Or like fundamentalist bible thumpers who overwhelmingly voted for Trump, despite the fact he is a documented con man, serial sex offender, and documented racist... The one good thing about Trumpism, is it has revealed which conservatives are sane and reasonable people, and not bigots... but we have to survive 4 years of a total assclown as basically leader of the planet
