71-year-old wrestled to the ground for questioning Paul Ryan

[AuH20]

well, that's not my biggest problem with him, although as a priority while still funding Pharma grabs in Medicare D he voted for and expanding the empire and police state, that he'd cut it FIRST, I absolutely hold against him, as one of a trillion things I have against him. to me it means he is cutting money spent on those who paid in, to spend more on special interests, and corporatism is high on my list of evils in government.

65 percent of the federal expenditures of the last ten years has gone to entitlements. It's got be cut down. Then you move towards defense spending and other discretionary. I'm favor of cutting everything but mandatory entitlement spending has to drastically restructured or else.

I'm saying that Ryan is not at fault for attempting to salvage a trans-generational ponzi scheme.

He ain't attempting to salvage shit.
He just wants more money for bombs.

Government pensions and government employees first would sit well with me.

 

[Danke]

So you guys didn't read the law or the supreme court cases. Too bad.

Its true. The government could cancel social security tomorrow if they wanted to.

But we know that's not going to happen. At least not now. I have no illusions about receiving social security. That 6.2% FICA portion removed from my check each week is never coming back. Legalized theft.

Everything has to be on the table but Ryan's priorities are improper altogether imho. I'm not going to get into perfect budgets (except Ron's because it is handy) because none are happening. this indicates that what is being considered is more raise spending on special interests at the expense of the people. So it is a bad budget.

Self-employed? Yikes.

What a guy, what a guy.

Tampa should be a blast. Wear your body armor.

I can't see this ticket winning anything unless Obama really messes up, which is a possibility since he sucks pretty bad too.

That guy is a delusional fool. That money was spent a long time ago. I hate boomers something fierce. YOU WERE CHEATED. GET OVER IT. DON'T MAKE DEALS WITH THE DEVIL AKA THE GOVERNMENT! PREPARE ACCORDINGLY!

How are you supposed to prepare when the government makes the dollar you earn today worth fifty cents in the span of a decade? After stealing up to 50% of the wealth you create when you initially earn it?

I are one:o

Me too :o

Some people just buy into the media hype, I even remember Glenn Beck doing a speal on it. But....we're Amerikans, and we can rebuild (need something for the their kids to steal later).

Don't ever be embarassed about your age friend. Idiots who want to lump whole age groups into one monolithic group are just that. Idiots.

I don't do that with those younger (or older) than myself.

Self-employed? Yikes.

No, that is what people pay, just half is hidden by the employer paying it directly to the government instead of to you.

You are awesome. Short, sweet, and well said...

so true...

But, but this isn't part of the media talking points so it isn't a valid argment. I have heard this ignored when people bring it up on the local talk radio show and it infuriates me how this argument gets dismissed. Money taken from the empoyer is part of what the employer factors (or should) in operating costs for said employee and it justifiable as being part of one's potential wages. Well said Danke...

And which of the current laws and supreme court cases that might effect your future are you staying abreast of?

 

[newbitech]

politicians in general have absolutely no sense of the outrage and turmoil bubbling up in this country. It's all a big joke until one day someone snaps, then they act all surprised as if the hostilities they are breeding should just stay bottled up and torment people in private seclusion.
