I just heard David Gregory, on Meet The Press, proclaim:
the "looming Entitlement Spending problem"
is "a Ticking Time-Bomb".
Un-ticking-Believable!
Since when did our Social Safety Net -- our personally paid-for Retirement Security Programs, transform into something 'armed and dangerous' ?
Since Beltway Insider Gregory says so, I guess.
Bomb-Detector, David Gregory, then went on to defuse the "Balanced Approach" solution being advocated by Senator ("We need compromise") Claire McCaskill.
Because as it turns out according to Senator (No New Taxes) John Thune
-- We Can't raise Taxes to fix Entitlements, because it is really an "Out-of-control Spending Problem". (Why? just Because, we said so.)
Well that seals it! Bombardier-Gregory once again proclaimed:
The Democrats will just have to "get on board" with Cutting Entitlements -- because as we all know those Programs are the main source of the Federal Spending problem.
Gregory then ended the interview by "offering" Thune, his honorary VP-Trial Balloon.
(what No Ice Cream?)
Simply Incredible. Problem's solved, then.
Someone call the "Hurt Locker" Team ... Stat!
We've been lied to all our lives -- those 16% FICA Payroll Deductions we've paid all our lives -- weren't really investments in our Future Security, and Future Health Care ...
NO, those FICA Payment were something else entirely, they were actually Deadly Dangerous! They were arming the Terrorists.
And NOW, they are about to Blow Up the Economy!
Nevermind that little Revenue Rebate Sale we threw last Decade:
That little "give-away", doesn't count (No Take-Backs!) Besides everyone knows, the Bush Tax Cuts created all those Jobs ... So they're A-OK. Move along folks. We can't bother the Job Creators.
ONLY your Retirement Security Nest-Eggs matter now. And they're Tick, Tick, Ticking ... {as we all know.}
No Worries, though. The Beltway Press is "armed and ready" to come and disarm "the problem".
We the American People, just need to -- Get out of their way.
