This is how you have to do it. I'd like to see similar cuts to foreign aid and social security (gradual draw down until its completely eliminated).

Too bad DC will never allow this to happen.

Benefits from these programs have gotten out of hand. I know a single mother of two with a part time job who gets a hair over $800/month in groceries. That is absolutely ridiculous. Reducing that amount to $600 in 10 years is more than fair. Plan accordingly.

There is nothing wrong with social security.

I would disagree with this one, unless they quit taking money out of paychecks for it. Had they let me keep my money and invest is as I see fit, I could agree. but they forcibly took my money out of my paycheck every single month, then not give it back to me as promised?
