Social Security, Medicare are entitlement programs. They were not meant to stay in place much after the Great Depression. But once you give the government more control of your life, they don't give it back. Social Security is a piggy bank and has been looted by the government over the years. I would rather have had the option of how I wanted to invest my future instead of having the government decide for me. Both SS and Medicare are actually bankrupt just like Fannie and Freddie which as you can see was perpetrated by Socialists operating in our government.

Never more have I become convinced than now that there should be term limits on anyone who holds a seat of power. We the people have lost control. The people's will is no longer done. Our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution so that we would not fall into this soft tyranny. The Constitution has been disregarded and our liberties and rights trampled by our lawmakers and Judges that judge according to their own political beliefs and not the rule of law.

I would love to teach a class to TOTVers interested in really understanding what the language being used to confuse people to think that Obama would be the right direction to go. I can understand wanting to distance from Bush. He actually is a liberal economically. But change shouldn't be walking off the cliff. Really listen to the words Obama uses. He changes them every other day to see how they play. We have an ignorant electorate and that is a commodity we cannot afford.
