Should we give Tea Partiers what they want and instantly shut down Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security?

[Blitzed]

I can't think of any Government program ever than can be shut down over a long time, let alone instantly...

[Phil]

why do you lie.they don't want to end those programs,they want to secure them for the future and make them stable

[Matthew]

You're a fool. That's not what they want, but you are a mindless sheep who probably watches MSNBC.

[Jane Doe]

OMG.What a load....grandma out in the street starving?Sounds like a trailer for a movie...why spread lies?....wait let me grab my shovel its getting pretty deep in here tonight.

[Marissa]

Nope. My dad needs his healthcare.

[Ron]

yes i believe so charity will solve all of those problems.we would be fine. 20 % on food stamps now .no problem.

[Summertime]

That's right Nancy...let us all just pray...Im sick of the hoopla coming from these Christians.Ive never ever know these kind of Christians And my pa is a minister.We didn't learn this type of Christianity. How can they change what God says and sell it to the people.I say its anti-god.

No medicare, medicaid and social security should be protected, too many people paid their fair share for it to not survive.My Grandfather was from another country, Portugal, he said in his day Europeans received their pension all at one time from the government and the difference was in the states they gave it to you in dribbles. He deceased now but he would say no longer dribbles, they want it back and expect you to die before you can spend it.

[Vito1964]

If we go off last years spending, we'd only need to cut all three of those by 79% to balance the budget.

[say what?]

would you like for it these programs to just go broke? They need reform and reform is what people like paul ryan have proposed-- not shutiing donw the programs.
