6. I say put a cap on defense spending.
What would it look like if we capped defense spending at 75% of their current budget. We could direct that other 25% into Social Security.

The only reason we are even talking about Social Security is because Pete Peterson hates poor elderly people and wants to get that money Ronnie Raygun made us Baby Boomers put away for our retirement. That's about 3 Trillion dollars Pete Peterson wants to give to his grandchildren. Even though the Baby Boomers were the 1st generation to pay for BOTH their own and their parent's retirement, the baby boomer's sacrifices should be Pete Peterson's, and all the Con Artist's on Wall Street, windfall profits. They want it, they know it's there and Raygun promised it to them.

No other generation has or will, pay for BOTH their own and their parent's retirements. But the uber wealthy and the Obama administration want to END SOCIAL SECURITY AS WE KNOW IT through the Cat Food commission.

President Obama is going to make sure we Baby Boomers sacrificed our money for NOTHING.
