Republicans Are All Talk...Again!

Just a couple of points;

SS funds itself, it was the pols who stole the money and left IOUs

Medicare probably comes close to funding itself, I am sure that I am not the only one who pays over $1100 a year for a flu shot. They have raised the level of contribution since I joined. Funny part is that it was a Republican administration that insisted I take SS at 65 although I would have preferred to wait until I retired at 73 simply because they got most all of it back in taxes..

In case no one noticed a goodly number of the countries where we have military bases would just as soon we went home, Okinawa for example. The idea that we are the world's police force is a legend in our own minds.
