Graham wants to spend trillions in Afghanistan and yet put the elderly in this country under a bridge? He has his priorities screwed up.

And I’m in full agreement on his priorities re: Afghanistan. I think we should pack up and get the hell out of there starting today. I do imagine that would have a salubrious effect on the US government’s budget.

But SS and Medicare are going to run into fiscal problems within 20 to 30 years. We need to discuss these problems in a responsible way now. Your angry reaction shows exactly why politicians won’t do it.
