>cutting government spending is no simple matter, Come on now... we got into this situation, we can get out of it... if there is a will. We are always told by the left that common sense ideas will not work because there is so much we dumb citizens don't understand.
We know that dishonest (mostly) Ds used the SS money to fund more of their failed grandiose plans for the 'great society' and beyond. However the Rs have been their silent accomplices in letting it happen, then getting infected with cash distribution disease as well. True we have created toooooooooooooo many entitlements that we are saddled with, but I have heard talk that SS benefits could be cut... what about other transfer payments to both individuals and corporations laying sideways in the public trough? The problem is everyone is (sort of) in favor of cutting spending as long as it isn't their piece of the pie. The big problem is not one of complexity, but of will. These cash drains were created, most can be destroyed! The deficit is a result of the realization that the government (read taxpayers) cannot afford the expenses generated by an ever growing government and the desire to give out benefits while letting someone in the future pay for them. Hear that flushing sound... it's our tax dollars going down the drain.
