Apparently the Nation needs to have us Baby-Boomers die off before this issue gets handled. My fellow Boomers seem quite happy with the borrow & spending federal govt. The answer really is for politicians to go to jail. Raiding the SS fund to spend on votes is about as vile as it gets. Although I am sure a lot of the politicians who voted to place the funds in the general fund pot are dead or dying, I don't see ONE trying to fix this. Ron Paul has been the single trustworthy politician in perhaps all of my lifetime. Honest politicians have no chance until the Baby-Boomers die off.

Haven't any of you been watching how the USA goes to war? We don't nuke them. We barely shoot at them. We take out facilities. We capture their leaders. We rebuild their country for free. We watch them elect anti-American leaders. We let them keep all their resources. We don't do anything but empower them to be stronger.

Oh yeah. If we capture their leader, instead of killing him, some jack_ss American will defend him in court - for free.

Wrong Philer - when we go to war, we don't nuke people. We go in and take out their leader, then rebuild their country for free. I can understand any country salivating over the thought of the USA going to war with them. It's a quick way to modernize their country on the USA's dime.

And smoking is a behavior used to keep people thin.

Bad trend. Reality is that genetics play a bigger role in heart disease, obesity, cancers, and a whole host of other diseases. That means people born into a family with a history would be charged higher premiums not just for their own behaviors, but for their inherited genetic makeup. People will always be people. They can never be counted on to do only the smart thing all the time. You can't legislate or tax away humanity.

With limited govt. we could even survive diversity. In fact, I wouldn't care about it at all if since they would have no power over me.

I like the sentiment Frank. The problem I see is that it's not a matter of voting. Our law already requires small, limited government. I don't see where the law of voting rights has any more power than our founding laws. We need enforcement of our laws. This means a lot of our current legislators and our current president, and many of his appointees need to go to jail.

This is true.

The correct course of action is to return the land to the States. Anything else leaves politicians in control.
