Well, even if your claim was accurate (which it isn't), imagine how "old" it gets actually hearing people defend the indefensible. Just a few short months ago we were discussing how quickly our unfunded liabilities were accumulating. It was around $110 trillion at that moment, up from around $98 trillion just three years earlier. I pointed out the rate was accelerating and would soon reach $120 trillion. Here we are just a couple of months later and BINGO, $118 trillion at the time of this post. It doesn't matter how much you raise taxes, it doesn't matter how much money you print or borrow, the size of government must be HALVED immediately. Which is only going back to about 2001.
The ponzi schemes (and that's EXACTLY what they are, distinctions aside) are collapsing, the progressive agenda is devouring itself. The problem is you folks have done such a fantastic job indoctrinating the populace into believing the gravy train will never end, you may have actually blinded them to the point they will riot and kill in a futile attempt to keep that which they were never entitled to in the first place. Suicidal? I would back off the word if it weren't so perfectly accurate.

lol, made up CATO institute numbers.
social security is just fine and will pay out full benefits for years now, all we have to do is raise the cap and it's good forever. as far as medicare goes (as well as our other world record health care costs), the answer isn't anything your buddies at a libertarian think tank are prescribing. quite the opposite, in fact.
you would do well to learn from other successful models rather than parroting someone else's short-sighted, theoretical, ideology driven bullshit.
i remember how you tried to convince me that a majority of the nation held your beliefs in not only gutting but completely killing the social safety net entirely. you just make me LOL.
suicidal? that would be the model you prescribe. just google kent snyder. sounds great on paper, people die who otherwise didn't have to in real life.

I want to know where the hundred trillion in unfunded liabilities number comes from. I have been hearing it for a few years.
Is it something like If I live 20 more years i put together a list of bills that haven't even come in the mail yet?
If so I have 4-5 million in unfunded liabilities and I make a lot less than that

I didn't get anything from the Cato institute, thank you. Maybe you would like to say some other words you think help your argument? Let's see. Koch brothers or maybe Fox News or even better, say Sarah Palin. And I forgot, only you, UB in all your glory have the insight and ability to track down the valid and accurate models. And of course, it is IMPOSSIBLE for the sources of your bullshit to be wrong. How awesome it must be to always be right, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
The national debt isn't really almost $16 trillion, with another couple trillion recently asked for, is it? It doesn't even matter, the gravy train will never end... there will NEVER be repercussions. Unfunded liabilities that will have to be dealt with, actually won't. It's gonna be smoooooooth sailin' from here on out. I'll just get me some of those Obama bucks, everyone knows those will never run out. Grow up.
