11. Lets see we should cut SS benefits???? isn't SS collecting far more
then it pays out? of course it is. We (those of us who work for a paycheck) have been OVERPAYING SS every week of every year since the Greenspan commission recommended raising them in 1981.

Remember not too long ago at the first of the year how all those tax planning hint come out? It seem that if you delay paying a tax long enough the interest you earn on what you have deferred pays for some of the tax, thus reducing you tax burden. Again we have been overpaying for 20+ years. We should take a cut in SS so the rich can have even more? These bunch are just shameless criminals.
