Last night I had this great idea for a cutback, probably others have thought of it too and just haven't written it down or published it.
Instead of cutting off the seniors from their food and meds, and throwing them out on the street by reducing their SS and medicare benefits, . Not to mention the military and their checks as well, being cut off as of August, let's try this first!
All those assholes that we elected sitting around arguing on our behalf about what's good for this country, and the sacrifices necessary to achieve this, well, let's have them make the first sacrifice, by giving up their paychecks, medical benefits and perks until this is all resolved. Maybe if they were worried, just a little bit about their futures, we could get this problem resolved. And that wouldn't be the only benefit. True, collectively they wouldn't make a big dent in the budget but as far as getting their needs met, well I bet it would be settled in an hour.
Since everything is all about them, and whether they get re elected or not, why not really make it about them? No checks or benefits for you until you raise the debt ceiling and STFU. No bargaining table either, just do it.
