In reply to the discussion: Dear Sen. Franken: resign from the Democratuc Party, not the Senate. [View all]carterbob251
(33 posts)16. I suspect this will end up being my last post....
I was banned and all posts deleted (granted it wasn't many) for, heaven forbid, simply stating on another thread that entitlement programs need to be addressed as the cost structure is not sustainable. Mind you, I never said I didn't agree with them, want anybody kicked off, etc., etc. -- only stating the fact that something has to be done or that will happen. And I challenge anyone who doesn't believe that to be true. We can all see the projections on SSN, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. It's not pretty. Apparently, I was a right wing nazi for even bringing it up. As a party, we have to be able to acknowledge things that need to be addressed and, importantly, lead the effort to help solve them. Well, that's my opinion anyway.
