Except we do get something in return. I guess the only way to get folks to see what that is is to cut it off. Just ask all of those rightwinger military folks who are bellyaching right now. Cut off Medicare, and watch the elderly stop voting Republican.............

OK, when did they change the thread to:

"Irrational beliefs! So, whatcha got?"

Besides, we don't even get close to what we pay for.
