Where will this money come from? Please don't say the "RICH", they don't have anywhere NEAR this much money.

Current Debt . . . $16.3 TRILLION Plus the $1.2 TRILLION proposed by President Barack Hussein Obama for 2013. (No budget approved)

Unfunded Liabilities (money we have PROMISED, do not have, nor do we have it coming in)

Social Security. . . . $15.9 TRILLION (10,000 Baby Boomers RETIRE EVERY DAY) (How many workers are entering the job market daily?)

Prescription Drugs .$20.4 TRILLION

Medicare. . . . . . . . $83.4 TRILLION

Total Unfunded Liabilities $120.4 TRILLION!

Number of Households in 2010 = 112,611,029

Unfunded Liability Per household $1,053,398.00

PLUS ObamaCare and Untold TRILLIONS more in TAXES

Since far left radical House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took office in January 1, 2007 our debt has increased by $6+ TRILLION.

SIX+ TRILLION since President Barack Hussein Obama took office. With Obama promise of ANOTHER $1.3 TRILLION DEBT FOR 2013.

Why do Progressives DEMAND a far lower standard of living for our children and their children? What makes you so superior, so selfish that you think you deserve far more of what they will earn?

Saddling our children and their children with this massive debt is immoral, indefensible and, as we have seen, the Progressives don’t even try.

Shameful and immoral!

When Social Security began, at what age did a person become eligible fro retirement benefits? What was the average life span of an American? What are they today?

Shuuuut up! You probably don't even have any kids and could care less about other people's. You just want everybody else to pay your fair share.
Greediness! Shameful and immoral!

Ohhhh...must have really hit a nerve. I'm sorry if the truth hurts you so bad.

If you have no answer for the truth and the FACTS, you may want to keep Abraham Lincoln, Republican President's words in mind.

“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.”

Hysteria.....calling people socialist for returning to the Clinton tax rates, after folks go over the fiscal cliff, there will be less than a year for house folks to campaign.....its going to be like rats climbing off a sinking ship.....so scream and yell socialism.....but you are looking at the tip of the iceberg....by 2018 you may legitimately have something to complain about.....but common sense escapes my party......and the backlash is going to be a bitch.

Yeah, just keep chipping away at Medicare until no one lives long enough to qualify for it. Then it's essentially dead, but hey...we're so much better off without those moochers. I think Social Security is a commie plot to steal all the money from the rich people...so we should do away with that too, but in a HUMANE way, like Medicare. Some of them will die off, and we'll be so much richer, as a country, for it.

I thought the retirement age for full SS benefits was already 67 if you were born 1960 or later.



I'm taking mine at 63 since that will HOPEFULLY be my last year of working. I once showed a group of students the benefit of taking it early compared to taking it at 70 with full benefits. The average 70 year old will have to get full benefits for about 14 years to catch up to the person who takes it at 62. That means the 70 year old is going to have to collect until age 84 just to catch up to the guy who took it at 62. Who knows if I will live to be 84. Sure, I am hoping, but it will be God's will.

If I remember correctly, my benefit at age 62 would be about $1150 per month and waiting until age 70 gives me a total of about $1800 or so.



I thought FRS employees only drew at half rate.

Jim DeMint: Boehner's offer "will destroy American jobs"

“Speaker Boehner’s $800 billion tax hike will destroy American jobs and allow politicians in Washington to spend even more, while not reducing our $16 trillion debt by a single penny,” DeMint said in a statement. “[I]f neither party leadership is going to put forward a serious plan to balance the budget and pay down the debt, we should end this charade.”

The conservative senator’s comments are a reminder that even as Republican leadership refuses to raise tax rates, there’s a wing of the party that considers closing loopholes and deductions a bridge too far.

Interestingly, it was DeMint who said in September that Republicans might have to raise taxes to avoid massive defense cuts.

“You can’t get a deal with Obama without raising taxes on the producing class of folks,” he told Bloomberg. “If Republicans want to maintain the defense, we’re going to have to give tax increases to Obama.”

The tea party-aligned FreedomWorks (which just lost chairman Dick Armey) also attacked the Republican plan.
