Ms. Malkin, this is a lot of research you've reported on here. If it is accurate, thank you and well done. When you say to support people like James O'Keefe, what can a common, non-political person do in this regard?

When I see Paul Ryan speak, I see the adult in the conversation; an American who truly understands what makes this country great. It is another false argument of the left that throwing money at a problem solves the problem. This is akin to spoiling your child, or buying them a gift when they cry. It's a temporary "feel good" move which denies the personal responsibility necessary to take the correct action. I understand Mr. Ryan's stated reasons for not wanting to run for president. I was disappointed, because it would have been very satisfying to see him wipe the floor with Obama in the debates as well as in the election. Still, Mr. Ryan will stay in the national debate and hopefully influence us back to our founding principles.

Big surprise from Mac287. Another liberal making a false argument to attack the concepts of personal responsibility and self reliance. The point Mac can't bear is that conservatives want to help those who TRULY cannot help themselves. However, we choose to do this in a way that won't bankrupt us fiscally and morally, on a personal and local level. Bring government into the equation and you raise the fraud and cost factor by 10. Statist liberals like Mac, who have disdain for personal responsibility, favor the coercion of huge and faceless government programs. That way, they can easily remove themselves from the problem while thinking they've done something to solve it.

Most knew Pelosi was lying when she made her statements. Further, she's a hard leftist, so any reasonable American should know not to trust a thing she says. We The People held this bag of crap and her boss accountable in November 2010. Still, I call on the House to investigate this matter and bring charges against Pelosi.

Well done, Ms. Doan.

The Republicans should counter with "FOREWARNED".

Well done, Mr. Greenberg.

Well done, Mr. Blackwell. May God bless you.

To his credit, Perry brought it up, sure. How well he "articulated" the problem is a matter of opinion. The basic problem with Social Security is that the government granted itself another way to take more of the money we earn. In other words, this is another attack on private property, another attack on the liberty of We The People. The plan was sold a a compassionate one, where workers will have something "saved" when they retire. Many of us know, and this article points out, that this is not the case. What is most compassionate is to teach people the value of hard work, self-reliance, and living withing their means, thereby saving their own money for retirement. That is liberty.

It's tough to believe that there is a politician more reprehensible than Nancy Pelosi, but Debbie makes it easy. From where does the left wing get these people?
