    I guess journalists don't know much about knives, do they. The size of a cut depends largely on what you're cutting. If it's something like butter, a machete will do better. If it's something soft, but stringy, (like flesh) a scalpel will do a lot better and make much less of a mess. If it's something like wood, a scalpel won't do shit.

Instead, the government literally takes money from its citizens, & divides it out based on who THEY think deserves it. It is called socialism, & the program became an utter failure as soon as the government gave person "x's" money to person "y". It is a scam.
      Those who paid / pay into the system are the ones who deserve the money. It is only a "hand-out" to those who abuse it, with the blessing of the government.

When our kids go to collage, we pay full boat. No consideration for scholarships or grants. Full possible price. And that goes for everything. Property taxes, health insurance, even license plates. For a luxury car my plates are over $6000 per year. It's called a luxury tax.
      People pay a few bucks per paycheck into Medicare. Then the first heart bypass surgery costs $100,000 or cancer treatments costs WAY more than anyone ever paid in.

    The problem with Social Security is that it didn't change as the life expectancy got longer. In 1935, when Social Security started, the life expectancy was 61, but Social Security didn't kick in until age 65. Most people were on Social Security for a short time. If Social Security continued to kick in 4 years later than the life expectancy, then it would kick in around age 82 in 2018. How long would seniors be using Social Security? Not too long. I have long believed we need to slowly move the Social Security ages later and later. Perhaps every 5 years move it 1 year higher. It will take many years, but eventually we'll restore it to its original intention, keep it solvent, and bring the debt level down.

    the debt clock is for USA Inc. a corporation, a fictitious entity owned by the crown, in DC which is a foreign country owned by the crown.

      Ahhh yes and the entire creation of the country was orchestrated by the crown and the Rothschilds were given the task of choosing our leadership and controlling our economy. Together they've created a cabal that plans to institute a global government and consolidate 99 percent of the world's wealth and power in the hands of a few thousand.
      Or... or... bear with me hear, the whole thing is a headless blunder wandering around in the dark, unable to be stopped as it dashes itself into a pieces right up until the inevitable moment it blindly wanders over a cliff. That seems about a million times more likely to me.

      have your beast numbers yet? of course you do. your berth manifest certificate, which bastardizes you by using only your mother's maiden name (they do animals this way, making you a ward of the state!), your socialism security number, drivers license number, bank account number, utility bills, all capitalism letter version of yourself, your nom de guerre,..... then they trade you on the livestock and bondage martket.
      the all capitalism letter version of yourself, is what would comprise the chip.
      it is a million times more likely you will wander off the cliff, or follow the rest of the lemmings off.

    Just privatising social security would save so much money, the government wouldn't be able to take the money and the economic growth would be unbelievable and theres a higher payout.

    People don’t realize that inflation is simply another real form of taxation. It is the easiest form of tax to levy because it appears not to have victims (victimless crime). Politicians don’t have to account to their constituents for it by forging worthless, unaccounted checks that appear to be legitimate currency. But, it has real victims-the savers and the very young. It is justified by claiming that savers have probably amassed their fortunes on the backs of their victims/slaves and therefore should be forced to give it back (reparations). The very young, on the other hand, aren’t able to protest so who cares about them. When their bills come due, the pigs will be gone. That’s a time tested assumption-no mystery to me. I was a saver and was forced to spend a good share of my time keeping the pigs out of my piggy bank. I am convinced that the world will never change because most men will never change. It is a truth that, if evolution really happened, man descended from pigs-maybe that’s why modern medicine has discovered that many pig organs can be substituted for human organs (heart valves, skin grafts, etc.). And, behaviorally, we are much closer to pigs than any other living organism-if they get too hungry, they will eat their weak and/or their babies! How does that make you feel?

    The first place they need to cut is with Government itself. Less, smaller Government, putting control in the hands of the people.

    "Brandon" keeps saying, you have to give me a debt ceiling raise without any spending cuts, a "clean" bill, or he'll never sign it. And it's close to 7 years later, with the national debt at about $31T. Virtually noone wants rationality, they all want to live in a fantasy world where money, especially government supplied money, is infinite.
