to see when he will have the guts to invite someone that will challenge his ass! He keeps ranting about Krugman, but why don't he have the guts to debate him to his face! The only people he invites to his show are people that are passive or agrees with him. If it was me, I would take him on! Point number one, Social Security has nothing to do with the Deficit! Even Ronald Reagan figured that out!
He sets the discussion every morning around that! There are 315 million people in this country. All of them aren't dumb! Fixing Social Security for years in the future has nothing to do with the current rise of that 17 trillion dollar Debt of today. The same for Medicare. The people he is using for his argument,to receive it in the future, donot receive it now. They are currently paying into them now and not receiving anything. They are not currently contributing to any rising costs.
The problems are rising costs of services for the same services people received years ago. People giving those services are much more greedier for profits. I have nothing against people making a good living and getting a profit for their services, but it has to be reasonable. There needs to be limits on what people charge. That is where the discussion needs to go but Joe tries to move the discussion away from that. As far as the current Debt, revenues have been going down because the top has been getting tax breaks over the last decade and breaks for the middleclass and the Poor has stagnated. We do not need to cut things that hurt them anymore. Compare how many Billionaires and millionaires are in this country to 10 years ago. It has doubled and even tripled. They have not created a good economy for jobs by getting there either. Most people crying about taxes are them. They rather continue hurting everyone than pay taxes.
The big excuse is they are not spending, because they are not sure what the Government will do about taxes. The problem with that is, they have been doing that for the last twelve years.
