Point/Counter-Point: How do you fix Social Security?
Multimedia Last week we learned Social Security will go broke much sooner than first thought. The question is, how do you fix it. On this week's Point/Counter-Point liberal activitist Roger Waun and conservative newspaper columnist Mark Levy tell us how to fix it.

It truly is doubtful if a lib would read a book by a "conservative Repub activist". And there were not two wars being fought under Clinton nor did he have Katrina and 9-11 (which most libs are trying to diminish and forget). Now here is your cue...it was "Bush's illegal war"....The truth is that Obama has spent more in the first 5 months of office than in the history of our country.

I want to ask both panelists how they plan to provide for me and my children in our retirement when liberals are out spending every dime on bailouts! Why can't we go back to the fiscally intelligent days of George W Bush? Both of you better get reporting on this before Heather Mills does! She'll go after you both like she does hookers, exotic dances and teen mothers! Conservatively, Leeza.

How about Means Testing and removing the Cap of contributions? Let's make Social Security solvent!

They act like a bunch of college kids with new credit cards who have never had to worry about a bill a day in their lives. And WE are paying for it. Monday, May 18 at 9:30 AM liberal mind wrote ...The federal government spends the third-highest amount of money each year to cover the INTEREST payments on the nation's debt. By March of this year, total interest spending was $169 BILLION. You can't blame our current Congress for the deficit. You have to blame ALL of them at once, or NONE of them. They spend beyond their means, like a bored housewife with a shopping addiction. We need a very large couch is a huge psychologist's office on which to pile every member of Congress to teach them Monday, May 18 at 9:24 AM liberal mind wrote ...I love how Levy continues to blame the current Congress for $1.84 billion deficit in spending. However, federal spending increased at the fastest rate in 30 YEARS under the Bush administration, and federal spending under Bush was 5 TIMES larger than it was under Clinton, according to a book by a conservative Republican activist that shows that Bush was a traitor to his own party. Bush also proposed RAISING the nation's debt ceiling from $10.6 trillion to $11.315 trillion... Add a commentMost ViewedMore Good Stuff |
