My take will be that we have passed the tipping point where those who receive their handouts from the government out number those who pay for them.

Such a circumstance was predicted when it was observed that voters can vote for themselves to raid the national treasury.

FAL has this issue nailed down. He understands what he is talking about. "Your take" is meaningless since you have no data to back up your assertion that more people are receiving benefits than not. Social Security recepients are entitled to receive their benefits, as are members of the armed forces and others who work for the government.

How can one raid the national treasury when the money belongs to the people? I am must less worried about those who are collecting earned benefits than I am about the politicans in charge not knowing how to govern or manage.

There are some occupations people have that should be the last to speak up about people collecting benefits from the government. There are all sorts of ways of shorting the treasury.

You can raid the national treasury by handing out benefits to those who did not earn them. Many people receive ss who did not pay one dime tot he system.

You meaning that voting is a waste of time and if you don't know for sure going in that you are going to win?

Who said anything about social security?

You really don't get it?

The public sector unions are a perfect example.

Actually, no, I do not start anything, but respond to posts. What I certainly do not do is insult people's spouses and parents as a way of getting back. Your actions reflect your character, which hovers around zero.

The good news is the names that are attatched to it. It's good to get the democrat lawmakers who support this on record, and vice-versa, the republicans get a chance to do what they actually said they would. The republicans, simply put, have the will of the people behind them.

What will your take be if conservatives loose seats in the upcoming election? [Just curious.]

Crabby, Excellent question! That would mean that conservatives are not serious about their convictions.

I agree that normally the majority rules, but what I don't like is when the minority takes money from the majority to waste.

The
...If they spend 1 dollar it is still a fraud and a waste as they know they have no chance of repealing the law. This is election year politics as usual at the expense of the people..
It does it appear that the law would be DOA (with the current congress). But as Winston Churchill said - Never give in, Never give in, Never, never, never.


You mentioned conservatives. There is only one maybe two conservatives in congress, Ron and Ran Paul. Calling the republicans conservative is a joke.
That statement shows your ignorance.

and you said Ron Paul is a conservative! Thanks for the laugh! He considered in the "The Mushy Middle. "

The good news is the names that are attached to it. It's good to get the democrat lawmakers who support this on record, and vice-versa, the republicans get a chance to do what they actually said they would. The republicans, simply put, have the will of the people behind them.

Put it this way, why does McDonald's keep advertising even though they have good sales? Because, when they don't advertise - sales go down.
As Curtis said - we need to keep this issue before the American People.
Bro Curtis, do suppose there are those Englishmen back in '41-43 who thought Churchhill should have surrendered to the Germans - since there was no way England could have won against the Germans?

If Ron Paul is not a conservative then the rest are traitors. The republicans know how many will vote and what they will vote before the vote is taken. What they are doing is nothing but politics as the tax payer expense. Mark my word these same republicans who are making all this noise will find a way not to repeal the law even if Romney is elected. It will be one excuse after another.

Winston, WHO? When there is no possible hope of winning fools press on.

Free, you are a lot like the Republicans in the House right now - you will not give up!!!!

Now, just out of curiosity - What would you say are the top twelve issues of the Conservative Party?
