For the future good of this country, some people will need to feel the pain.

There can be no progress made without some pain or discomfort. No pain, no gain. Sorry, but that is the reality.

If people want unemployment compensation or assistance from a hurricane or another disaster, we cannot give away the seed corn (SS & Medicare) just so they do not have to feel any temporary pain. To save future generations from the same hardships or worse, we must put the onus on those that would attempt to destroy us, our Party, our government, and our country by holding hostage those that are in temporary need.

It is a tough decision. But one that must be made. If you don't like it, then get off your sorry ass and change the government. Work to get rid of those that are holding you and your country hostage. Don't just surrender.
