I’m all for cutting EVERYTHING 1% every year until we spend less than we tax. But even that modest plan is too radical for most in congress.
Oh well, we will have to continue status quo until something bad happens.
You are in a very small minority that actually believe in cutting Social Security or Medicare. An even smaller minority once you are actively collecting. Posturing is cool and all, but I prefer to be realistic. These programs are not going any where soon, and the sooner we accept that reality the sooner we can better tackle deficit and debt.
