google an article …
google an article in the guardian-dot-co-dot-uk called ‘george osborne can’t cherry pick from canada’s cuts model’ to find out what we did. mainly for you it would involve ending foreign wars. barney frank suggests cutting a trillion dollars out of the military budget.
seventy two and increase payments might be the right way for the usa, i don’t know. i’m a canadian at heart i guess.
@mohip050 Yes I am …
@mohip050 Yes I am but I know it is a tough sell but perhaps 72 and increase payments would work.
@timbosforporn i’m …
@timbosforporn i’m not sure if you’re suggesting that seriously. maybe that’s the rout to go, but it’ll be a tough sell in an election. the elderly are usually the only reliable voters and there’s lots of them.
their children might even vote with them.
@mohip050 They …
@mohip050 They should push up the retirement age to 82. That would bring a lot of solvency to the system.
@mhirtes12 That is …
@mhirtes12 That is not a liberal since liberalism was always founded on that the only liberty is of the individual kind that is founded on free-trade and limited government. What you are espousing sounds more like christianity and you are free to associate with that group if you wish.
the title of this …
the title of this is misleading. I believe in efficient government and so does this guy. I totally respect this guy and that’s coming from the left.
america has some tough choices to make and I respect well spoken straight shooters. I don’t care what party they’re from.
that ‘lesser people’ title is bull, he meant that america needs to take care of it’s less fortunate and it is so classless of whoever posted this video to reduce this to a political correctness gaffe.
in the end the us will
@mhirtes12 You got …
@mhirtes12 You got me dude. I drive by retirement communities and run down little old ladies and not tell anyone. We just read that someone old person was ran over and no one knows it is me. We do this right after the big Tparty meeting and we even plan our routes. Gas has gotten expensive so we had to cut back but when it goes back down to a dollar its going to be blood on the streets.
SS is the king of …
SS is the king of all tax scams, but it will be health insurance that bankrupts the US gov.
@nite0wl333 …
@nite0wl333 Interesting idea. A US Government agency that holds Treasury Bonds demanding higher interest rates on those bonds from the Treasury. Hmmm.
What would stop China and the other holders of Treasuries from getting the same idea? You might as well try and solve the problem with magic beans.
@mhirtes12 Well it …
@mhirtes12 Well it is my hope that we are watching 2 different videos then
alan simpson …
alan simpson transcends left and right.
@Trauncher Yeah, …
@Trauncher Yeah, right.
If we did things your way, the Russians would have beat us to the Moon. Hell, they would have beat us at everything.
@Trauncher Youre …
@Trauncher Youre just an ugly thug who wants to plunge the country in some sort of “everyone for themself” nightmare. Thank god there are people much more intelligent than you in charge.
Now go back to polishing your guns and listening to Glen Beck, clown.
@moediggity28 that …
@moediggity28 that was a response to someone quoting JFK saying basically the same thing. It was illustrative of the fact that Socialist Fascism begins with glowing rhetoric about helping people, but ends up in the same place… with the loss of freedom, oppression, and tyranny. History is very plain on that point.
@mhirtes12 I have …
@mhirtes12 I have no problem with social security. As long as the filthy politicians keep their hands off of the money. people should be able to opt out of social security if they can show they have their own retirement means.
We were talking about the idiotic comment that “Taxes drive Civilization”. when its actually the lack of taxes that have been responsible for the greatest advancements in civilization. Taxes may drive Infrastructure, but they oppress the wage earner.
@mhirtes12 —I …
@mhirtes12 —I will—–
@everlastingfloww …
@everlastingfloww Go back to playing Guitar Hero.
@mhirtes12 YOU ARE …
@mhirtes12 YOU ARE A JOKE! Try I’m rubber your glue next time.
@mhirtes12 lol I …
@mhirtes12 lol I don’t watch and probably dislike BillO as much as you do.
@everlastingfloww …
@everlastingfloww Oh look. It’s the punk in the haircut again. And it think it’s a neocon pundit too. That’s funny.
@mhirtes12 —No— …
@mhirtes12 —No— But then again she didn’t say she could. The Obaminator did. Rite? He said he was going to change it ALL. Bipartisanship, the deficit, gay rites, “global warming”, well pretty much anything people wanted changed. I guess that has been happing on both sides for some time though. In which case there is NO real change. If you do the exactly the same as the last guy ,and even worse, is that change?
@Trauncher OH …
@Trauncher OH NOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
and??
@Trauncher Whatever …
@Trauncher Whatever, troll.
Fact still remains that Social Security is a vital necessity in the lives of millions of people who would be dead now without it, and you can shove whatever heartless comments you have right back up your butt.
@mhirtes12 It looks …
@mhirtes12 It looks like it stung to me. The Acrimony in your reply is telling. see, the difference is that my viewpoint is consistent with the Constitution .. you know, that pesky LAW of the LAND? the one that espouses personal responsibility and accountability.. the one that defines our country as the representative republic that it is.. not the socialist oligarchy that you seem to wish for.
Your views are consistent with the numerous failed socialist governments of history. get it?
@everlastingfloww …
@everlastingfloww And you think your Messiah Sarah Palin would have been better?
