Do you think it is possible for the federal government to balance its budget without cutting spending on Social Security, or do you think spending on Social Security will have to be cut?
Possible to balance budget without cutting spending on Social Security 59%
Spending on Social Security will have to be cut 39%
Don’t know 2%
Who cares what people think! That just points out the stupidity of the average American.
ReplyDeleteWell, don't we just love democracy.

ReplyDeleteWhat it points out is that most people aren't buying the propaganda.
ReplyDeleteSS may not be needed to be cut to balance the budget. In fact, its "surpluses" have helped reduce the deficits for years!
ReplyDeleteNow that the outgo exceeds the income (excluding interest), that Treasury bond interest is bought with cash. Or, in the case of a deficit, by increasing the debt held by the public.
Now, if benefits are not reduced or taxes raised, SS WILL add to the deficit and the debt held by the public.
