His statement was funny why?

Are you with the humor police?

Rand may actually be a decent 2020 candidate if he distances himself from the tea party and gets a high position in the Senate. At least he is for cuts in defense spending.

Hes running in 2016. He'll embrace tea party economics while being socially liberal and isolationist to try to stitch together a coalition. I think it could work.

What's tea party economics?

[MatthewT]

hopefully "cut taxes for everybody"

[JDs tees]

What's tea party economics?

Cut taxes, cut spending, cut entitlements

[Bosch76]

Cut taxes, cut spending, cut entitlements

Ok, please lay that out. How much are taxes going down?

Then please show the Trillians in spending you will cut.

But remember that this is the tea party......

Cut, Cap & Balance does a pretty good job addressing those issues; entitlement reform isn't an option; it's unsustainable. the numbers just don't work.

so they're gonna have to cut back benefits, increase age qualifiers, do means testing, or all of the above. just 'cause the government runs a ponzi scheme doesn't mean the ponzi scheme is immortal

Medicare is not a ponzi scheme, it works perfectly fine and has for 50 years.

Ronald Reagan adjusted medicare in the 80's anticipating the baby boomers retiring now. Medicare and SS do not add to the deficit $1.

[I invented that]

SS doesn't add to the deficit $1.

are you sure? perhaps if you understood the government accounting system(3 card monte) better you wouldn't come off as such a dummy.



Social Security is designed as a self-supporting, pay-as-you-go program, in which current payroll taxes pay for current benefits. This played out for many years, and with interest, the program has built up an annual surplus, which appeared to help offset the national deficits.

But, in reality, Social Security is not closed off from the rest of the government. The program’s surplus funds are frequently invested in Treasury bonds, and during surplus years, the bonds earn interest paid with other government dollars. And in recent years, the amount of taxes collected have not equaled the benefits distributed, leaving the Social Security funds facing a cash deficit, which then forces the government to borrow more money to offset.

This was the case in 2010 and 2011, and Social Security trustees anticipate higher deficits looking forward.

We see clear evidence that Social Security does affect the nation’s debt and deficit.

read the whole article over and over until you understand the way the scam actually works. if you can do that you'll be smarter than riot grip.

[MatthewT]

they replaced the funds in social security with treasury bonds, that we owe, and owe interest on.

so yes, yes it does add to the deficit. and the debt.

and if they can do that with public pensions, your private pensions are next. instead of having $200,000 in your 401k, you're going to have Uncle Sam's IOU for $200,000 at 2% per annum.

and you're going to like it.

[JDs tees]

When those entitlement reform proposals come out, they better not exclude changes to those on Medicare and SS, otherwise that's a left wing type move to buy votes with giveaways.

[SiriusDawg]

not so, dude
help was an hour away; there was a 7-8 hour firefight; help never came
there were drones in the area
there were cell calls, wires, cables, all real time, all telling about the attack
there were at least 3 calls from CIA agents asking for permission to engage. all denied
there were several prior attacks. all conveniently forgotten
there were the british and red cross attacks, causing them to rightfully flee the area

if you want to hang your hat on "the administration has not confessed to all that", feel free. feel protected. feel safe. feel whatever you want
