2. The conservatives have just discovered
the federal debt. Their solution is, predictably, predicated on destroying the social infrastructure; "entitlement" programmes.

I suggest a serious revolt by the public at this point; otherwise the only thing your taxes will buy is a fascistic domestic programme and the weight of the Pentagon and the CIA.

Destroying the society and starving anyone who doesn't inherit wealth is NOT the way to dig out of the financial hole. What will solve it is to learn to live more or less within your means, and give fair pay for the work that the people produce. Share the wealth, folks....otherwise, there will be a severe depression combined with a fast approaching climate change.

3. conservatives want my taxes to pay their entitlements only -
they are already on the government dole in many ways and their health care and retirement is what our taxes will pay. Congress especially with their high salaries and benefits and presidental libraries we don't need and waste on the current admin to go the olympics and golfing etc.
