I was just talking about this with my wife this morning, after we were fed yet another "scary scary terra" news story from the M$M.

9. You are obviously not on Social Security and Medicare |
|
Come December you will be among those telling the rest of us that we must support cuts in those programs.

13. I'm sorry, I don't read of any cuts being announced in that story..... |
|
Just a Republican having something to say, and other folks on the commission saying something else.
I'm sure you must have more on these rumored cuts that are being used by some to scare others on a daily basis....right?
This "Cat Food Commission" scare tactic reminds me of the "death panel" tactics used earlier last year.....just that the fearmongers have changed......but the fear being sold is the same.

16. Because nobody in their right mind would be afraid that people who say they want to cut |
|
--Social Security and Medicare would actually recommend cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

17. Will you apologize to us |
|
if these cuts become reality?
And these "cuts" can be stopped through a veto by President Obama. So many of us will consider it his responsibility to veto an increase in the retirement age or other cuts.

12. Operatives against this administration? |
|
You mean people who live in reality? People who can read? People who can comprehend what they read?
Oh! Those people!

Cause that's all I'm reading about.....
Fearmongers have no party; they just like to frighten others into agreeing with their particular point of view. In this case, some are rumormongering and attempting to pass it off as facts.
What I did and will do again was to write to my congresscritters and told them without hesitation what I consider to be a remedy for the possible shortfall in SS......and none of what I suggested has anything to do with Cutting benefits at all. Perhaps if folks wouldn't be so lazy to just accept rumors as facts, and instead actually took action to make their position clearly known to those who will be voting in congress (especially during an election year) for whatever is proposed, that could actually be more effective than simply fearmongering on the internet by attempting to pass off as fact what is currently provable fiction.
