"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the
assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
- Cicero - 55BC
"Evidently, nothing."
Exactly. The only thing I would add is "ALL" as in "ALL people must work; nobody who does not need it will get public assistance"
That's why I say ALL Senators and Representatives and the President and Vice-President and the Supreme Court justices should not get Social Security. Keep their snouts out of the trough of big government. That's what's wrong with this country: Too many deadbeats looking for a handout....
Let's hold accountable those responsible for the deficits -- see my Post #174 Subject: 545 People -- BEFORE we start fiddling with the retirement age.
Heck, I'm in favor of no pay for our elected federal officials -- and some state officials, too. If they can't manage to get by on their own personal fortune, we do not need them in D.C.
President John F. Kennedy donated his entire salary to charities -- George Washington was the only other President not to have his hand out. "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." Indeed.
