Social Security and Medicare are just fine... however, what is wrong is the economic system which creates unemployment and uses unemployment to drive down wages. If we had a full employment economy with workers receiving real living wages, there would be no problem at all with Social Security or Medicare.
What no one, Democrats, Republicans or those of you in the Tea Party Movement will come to terms with is that while these barbaric and savage wars are killing people and destroying so many lives is that these wars are also killing jobs and the right of the American people to a public healthcare system--- or, to put it more bluntly for you: socialized healthcare.
Socialized healthcare would create up to ten-million new jobs; WPA and CCC type programs would create up to 12 million new jobs... what funds would still be lacking after redirecting the money from these wars could be had by taxing the wealthy and filthy rich whose unearned income is derived from the exploitation of labor in the mines, mills and factories of this country.
Tax-payer already own the St. Paul Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant and most of the mines, mills and factories that are shuttered and closed down by virtue of the subsidies the government has made to these big-businesses... open all these closed mines, mills and factories under public ownership and put people to work creating those things human beings all over the world require to live decent lives.
The "free market" capitalism people in the Tea Party Movement worship has failed miserably with capitalism now on the skids to oblivion dragging us all down the road to perdition.
As long as these illegal, unconstitutional, dirty wars are being funded there can't be any "fiscal responsibility."
Racism and racist hiring practices are on the rise because Obama and the Democrats refuse to enforce affirmative action by way of Executive Order #11246 which is causing massive poverty in communities of people of color.
It is hypocritical of those of you in the Tea Party Movement to use fear of a "failing" Social Security system and Medicare program without addressing the issue of unemployment... and, the only way to create jobs in the large numbers required is through government programs which you condemn and disdain... don't tell me the millions of unemployed people and the working poor are supporting the Tea Party Movement when everything you advocate is directly predicated on making their lives more miserable.
The Tea Party Movement fails to address the real "fiscal irresponsibility."
The Tea Party Movement refuses to acknowledge that "free markets" got us in this horrible economic mess.
The Tea Party Movement wants to destroy the very government capable of solving our problems if the government is properly run by people who really are determined to solve these problems our country is experiencing and facing with the worst yet to come.
