My memory seemed to fail me, what I found out was it was against the law to take money out of the S.S.fund and put it in the general fund. What Johnson did was take the money out of the S.S. fund and put it in the general fund and replace it with Treasury Bonds, this has been going on ever sense. The question now comes up, with government borrowing about 4B/day(2012 numbers) will the treasury have the money to pay when the bonds come due? Only time will tell, we may be on the hook again.

You seem to think that the 1% should pay more. The sheet I saw (2012 numbers) said that if you took 100% of the adjusted income from the rich you would have enough to run government for 2 1/2 - 3 mo.. If you did that why would the rich work as hard next year? A better question is why would they even stay in this country. Would you work if government took 100% of your earnings? The simple truth is we spend more that we take in, raising taxes will bring us out of this mess. We need to cut spending, for to long Republicans and more so Democrats have traded benifits for votes. Government has gotten to big and has it's fingers in to many things it should stay out of. Do you think government should be telling us what kind of light bulbs we should use? I don't.

"Obama kept offering cuts........." How many times can you play Charlie Brown? You know the one where Charlie goes to kick the football and Lucy takes it away. Twice before Repubs. had deals with Dems.. believe it was $3 cuts for every$1 taxes. We got the taxes but no cuts. If you are really serious lets do the cuts first , than if we need to raise the taxes.

I probably won't be anwering your post should you choose to write. I'm leaving on a week long snowmobile trip.

Mr. Hypocrite, I was wondering if you would show up. Mr.Bonfire and I are having a nice civil discussion. At least he hasn't called me a idiot yet (he may have thought it) which is more than I ever got from you. Have a good day. Is MSNBC still your news channel of choice?
