Robert Samuelson:
From 1960 to 2010, the share of federal spending going for “payments to individuals” (Social Security, food stamps, Medicare and the like) climbed from 26 percent to 66 percent…TWO-THIRDS!?!?! SHEESH. NO WONDER WE'RE IN SO MUCH FREAKIN DEBT!
THE 120 MILLION PEOPLE WITH REAL JOBS IN THE USA CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THEIR OWN NEEDS AND ALSO PAY FOR THE PENSIONS OF AND CONSUMABLES AND DEBTS OF THE 200 MILLION OTHER PEOPLE.
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO WIND DOWN THE WELFARE STATE AND THIS MEANS LETTING PEOPLE KEEP MORE OF THE FRUITS OF THEIR OWN LABORS.
GROWTH IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THIS NECESSARY TRANSITION AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE; THEREFORE POLICIES WHICH CREATE REAL GROWTH MUST BE ENACTED.
THAT MEANS ACCELERATING ENERGY EXPLORATION AND CUTTING TAXES AND CUTTING RED TAPE.
OBAMA IS DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY STOP STOP HIM: VOTE GOP.

And true reform! Eliminate the fraud!
Downtown DC has many, many drug dealers running around on scooters that Medicare has paid for! I kid you not. Fraudulent doctor after fraudulent doctor in DC certifies these crack dealers as disabled.
A lot of the increase in those on Social Security and Medicare results from the aging Boomers. And this is just now beginning in earnest!
