Fix the Debt are rich people who want to cut their taxes and steal your Social Security money.

They're all the same, but I don't think there's been a deficit scare group as transparently fraudulent before. Regular reminder: Fix the Debt are rich people who want to cut their taxes and steal your Social Security money.

The only benefit of paying off the debt is to the very wealthy, who could...and should...be paying taxes on amassed wealth. The deficit was run up in the process of helping them amass that great wealth.

that would stomp on their child's neck to get at their last dollar. these idiots honestly believe they share more in common with the 1% than they do with the family living out of their car.
