Want to make cuts?

[Saltie]

The 2% temporary payroll tax cut was ended by the President, so why can't the government take the same 2% cut to their overspending? Here's one way we can start to make cuts. Why are we giving Egypt, run by a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, 4 F-16's and 200 Abrams tanks? Ask yourself this, is it worth borrowing 46 cents of every dollar from the Chinese to give the Egypt government  this amount of money in foreign aid?

That might be so if they didn't steal from S/S funds to fund their appetite.

Ah, not stealing, just replacing with IOUs in the form of government bonds.

We borrow from ourselves, or rather from our children and their children which of course makes up for the over $100,000 cost of raising them....sorta....
