I'm not going to drink the kool-aid on this one.
Social security sucks and should be killed.
The federal government gives money disproportionatly to the elderly and routinely shafts the youth of America.
35% of the federal budget (SS + Medicare) goes to old people.
Young people maybe get about 5% in education, but that is constantly being cut.
I represent the youth of America.
All I ask is equal distribution of federal funds.
If we cut SS+Medicare in half we could easily have universal college education.
If we cut SS+Medicare in half we could easily get job training.
If we cut SS+Medicare in half we could lower the tax burden on the youth.
It is BS that 10% of our paychecks get redirected to random old people, and as Bush is making obvious, the benifit for us is definitly not guarenteed.
I, like everyone else here, can't stand Bush, but I strongly support his blundering plan to kill SS.
