Ya know.....GROW UP everyone....I figure to SURVIVE I'm going to die at my desk. That's it. I cashed in my retirement to survive last year. There is nothing left. If I'm given the GIFT to keep working and standing on my own two feet - amen. STOP YOUR WHINING! Not to say I agree with the Debt Commission...but JC.....I want to be my own person...not wait for alms from the government!
But as the co-chair of President Obama's debt commission, the Wyoming Republican said he's been taking an unprecedented amount of flak for the commission's draft proposals to help erase the nation's $13.8 trillion debt.
'I've never had any nastier mail or [been in a] more difficult position in my life,' said the 79-year-old Simpson. 'Just vicious. People I've known, relatives [saying], ''You son of a bitch. How could you do this?''
Not surprisingly, many of the debt commission's draft proposals to cut the debt by nearly $4 trillion by 2020 -- from raising the retirement age to 69 by 2075 to bringing in $1 trillion more in tax revenue -- have won strong opposition from liberals and conservatives alike."
“So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Anconia. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.” … “Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?” - Atlas Shrugged
