Social Security and Medicare are SAVED!!!!! [1]

Well, probably not.

I just noticed a story on CNBC that the national debt is now increasing $1 trillion every 100 days. That would mean the National Debt is a runaway train at this point, and it doesn’t matter what budget cuts are made to the social safety net, or military budget, it would not impact the inevitable (although the military budget wouldn’t be cut even if the National Debt reached $1 quadrillion). If the National Debt is increasing $1 trillion every 100 days, soon it will be $1 trillion every 60 days. Then, 45 days. Then, 30 days … 15 days … 7 days… Well, you get the picture. We’re clearly at a point where budget cuts will have no impact on decreasing the National Debt.

So, if Social Security, and Medicare are eliminated, it won’t be to confront the National Debt … it will just be for ideological fun.

Carry on.
