3. What more is there to talk about?
There is nothing new to be said. It seems at this point anything our politicians decide to do will screw the middle class and game the system even further for the rich.

14. And also... people that don't want SS cut aren't fringe.
They are the vast majority of all Americans... along the order of approximately 70%.

Seems to me YOU are the fringe.
