1. Worse yet, BushCo and the Repubs didn't even pay for their wars.
They left that to the next guy. On purpose.

2. My ideas
1) raise the SS tax caps. Raise taxes to Clinton era levels.
2) end these dumb fucking Bush wars. Close bases around the world. (why must we be the world peacekeeper?)
3) Negotiate drug prices for Medicare part D

3. 4) Reduce the pay of Senate and Congress to
the median income of the lowest 60% of US population. Include homeless and unemployed in the calculation.

7. Agreed...pretty close to my "plan" too!
There IS no financial crisis in America....there is a political one!
One party has lost its balls and the other has seemingly lost its mind.

4. They need people paying into social security so they can raid the funds.
if only they could steal the medicare unds. That is why they hate it cause they can't get to it.
