2. Here's another idea. Cut the 'Defense' budget in half and STOP BORROWING
FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY FUND to pay for unjust, hideous, genocidal war.

You don't have to take it out of the hides of people who have paid into it all their lives. There is nothing wrong with this Fund that fiscal responsibility and peace wouldn't cure.

The Bushwhacks have been borrowing against the Social Security Fund--and also against all government pension funds--to pay for their corporate oil war and for lavish war profiteering and police state profiteering. Our 'Defense'--if it is to be truly a defense, and not an aggressive corporate war machine--can be more than adequately handled by halving the Defense budget and cutting out the profiteers. Then, guess what? We would have plenty of money to keep Social Security solvent, implement universal health and rebuild our Bushwhack-destroyed country.
