The US economy is in sad shape (unless you are one of the Wall St. gamblers that is protected by the US government) and the debate on spending and the deficit rages on and on and on…….you and I have heard all the excuses and those to blame…..some I believe, some you do……but there comes a time when the affixing of blame on a part of society is just plain STUPID!

I know…what are you going on about, Professor?  Glad you asked!

In the past my posts on social security has gotten amazing response (wish all my posts were as fortunate) and I am waiting to see if this one generates as much debate and exchange as the others…I look forward to hearing what my readers have to say….so dive in!  (BTW, check it out…the Social Security Fund has a $2.0+ trillion surplus secured by the US government)

I apologize to my conservative readers, I in NO way are one of those hating Lefties, but some of the stances of the GOP has a bit of an elitist air to it……

It appears that us “boomers” (yes, I am an old fart)  are the problem with the ever expanding deficit…..since we are at or approaching retirement…our leisure will drain the SS fund and our Medicare will do the same….but who’s fault is that?

Surely you cannot blame the person that has worked hard their whole life for wanting to enjoy their final years?  So, the best answer is to make these people work longer or die sooner…..why?  Why should these people be made to suffer for something that is NOT their fault or their doing?

Let see….the best answers we have for the lessening of the deficit is make working stiffs work longer and possibly harder and to give tax cuts to the wealthy….is that about it?  That is the best you can do for American working families?  We are in a serious conflict, my friends!
