17. Done!! with one caveat.
On the last question,
What is more important: taking steps to reduce the budget deficit, or keeping Social Security and Medicare benefits as they are?
...my preference was NOT included.

I support:
*INCREASING benefits,

*Immediate END to the FICA TAX "Holiday"
Payroll Tax Holiday Directly Connects Social Security to The Deficit


*Elimination of "The CAP" on FICA Deductions

...but I cast my vote for leaving benefits as they are.


But "they" don't care WHAT we want.
The cuts are already a Done Deal.
We are just watching the Kabuki play out,
and we've ALL seen this one before.

The only Good Democrat left in Washington has to register as an "Independent" because the New Democrat Centrist Party has lurched so FAR to The Right over the last 30 years.


You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
Solidarity99!
