Math indicates that the debt is unpayable, the debt is bigger than the resources of the whole world, the debt is a scam, frick the debt, you pay it if you want to, it is nothing but fraud, a scam, I am not paying that shite that I did not agree to.

Medicare, once again, will go broke if something isn't done.
we have a month in which to consider solutions to the issues and problems we agree that we face. the Ryan plan, which Romney adopts in principle, except only the exact amount of the value of the voucher takes an average of $6400 and transfers it from the pocket of each retiree, and puts it into the treasury. So I reject that as not actually being a solution, but more like robbing the poor to make rich people more comfortable with the interest rates they have to pay to expand their investment opportunities.

Really, Otto? The "rich" in this country have $16 Trillion in wealth?

Let me ask...Medicare is a major function of our healthcare, which is why I cannot understand in the two years the president spent on healthcare, why he didn't offer any solutions and overhauls..the doc fix comes to mind. Can you explain why I should remotely believe that he will tackle such an issue in another term with such a contentious congress?

He knows he is bullshiteting, nobody can pay that stupid debt. the so called debt is nothing but a mechanism to extract the last bit of real wealth out of the people, reject those frickers

Agreed. Which makes it sad how it seems about one half of the body politic is singularly focused on how they can get their hands on it from those that have it, to fulfill their whims and the whims of those that put them in their positions.

What makes it a good idea to take 1/2 the money back from every single old person ever to live in the future.
Hmm, receive my tax money back with 1/2 Medicare benefits under a voucher system or receive $0 of my taxes back in benefits when Medicare goes bankrupt in 12 years. Which one should I choose?

Wait, what? You could tax the top 1% at a 100% rate and still not get enough to cover this years deficit.
