no matter. the bankruptcy of the USA is manifest destiny. The only question is how & when.

Most likely it will be when the baby boomers retire en masse, & the deficit balloons to 3 trillion/year & up. Someone will have to break the bad news to the boomers that they're not going to get everything they think they're entitled to.

All baby boomers should be thrown in jail when they turn 65, not given government checks. The way they bankrupted america is a crime.
they paid in to ss its not welfare. and if they lifted the cap on ssi to over 105k there would be no problem. also keep lowering taxes and then cry about the debt. As fun as it is to cut things on old people and middle class. There isnt enough you can cut to balance the budget. While protecting tax breaks that will never ever effect you except they will ram in harder up your ass while google pays about 4 percent in corporate taxes. Also a cute thing happen for all those people with the taxes make corporations raise their prices mantra. As we know the faa is unfunded now, so the 7 percent tax they collect on all tickets cant be collected. So that should mean its 7 percent cheaper to fly, oh no. The airlines raised their prices 7 percent so you are still paying for it. That kills that whole fair tax theory.
