Sen. Joe Lieberman, who used to be a staunch ally for Medicare and Social Security is now throwing away any pretense that he was once a Democratic politician and would rather help destroy the lives of seniors in America to make sure funds flow to continue endless wars on Pam Geller's favorite target: Radical Islamists. In a new bill that he'll co-sponsor with Conservative Tom Coburn, they plan on helping to weaken one of our most cherished and valued programs, Social Security and send the cash over the the Military. he knows that Social Security is solvent for decades and doesn't add a penny to the deficit which has preoccupied the White House, GOP and the beltway media. It doesn't matter that Americans have said over and over again that they prefer defense spending to be cut, not our social safety nets.

FlyNavy the f35 is the real lead sled compared to the F4 which had the dubious title for its 1 to 2 glide drop ration, the F35 now has that ratio beat presently 1 glide to 8 drop of altitude, as well as the budget to develop it

Well, no, factually incorrect. To the untrained eye, it would seem as if since social security will pay out 45 billion dollars this year than it takes in, than it does add to the deficit.
CBO said that Social Security will pay out $45 billion more in benefits this year than it will collect in payroll taxes, further straining the nation's finances. The deficits will continue until the Social Security trust funds are eventually drained, in about 2037.

#3 - Wed Aug 3, 2011 11:03 AM EDTI thought I read that social security by itself owned over two trillion in US bonds. The two other elements, prescriptions and medicare may be underfunded by contributions for workers and emploers. These two accounts easily whack our empty wallets by the arrogant medical folks who think they deserve 11% annual increases, compounded.
Lindsey Graham as a guest on cable news Monday, said he wants pentagon funding to increase. Maybe getting ready for his planned strategic bombing campaign against Iran presented to nat'l press club at lunch mid January 2011.

It should come as no surprise Senator J. Lieberman (I) is a career politician; he’s been a senator since 1989 (?) and is an intelligent and cunning one. Also, it should come as no surprise that career politicians like Mr. Lieberman lack of ethics, weak on morality; which enables himm the freedom to lie, cheat, and deceive to suite his own interest.
Ever noticed Senator Lieberman’s deeply partisan mood swings? During the 2008 Presidential Election Cycle he trashed Senator Obama by hanging out with Senator McCain (R), Senator Lindsey Graham (R) and Sarah Palin calling him, Senator Obama, a terrorist, a secret Muslim, Un-American, a Socialist; like that’s a bad thing, and not a natural born citizen, but after the election he caucused with the Democrats ( the party that held all the perceived power).
It’s deception to suite his own interest or interest of his master(s) of the day, of the week, of the cycle; this time the Military Industrial Complex, not conducting the will of the people. America’s Corporatocracy 2000’s .

#4 - Wed Aug 3, 2011 12:24 PM EDTThis fearmongering fiend would rather back an out of control war hawk's idea from a nut like John Bolton, (who also is a hero to Pam Geller) than stand up for the Americans that already have been paying 600 billion dollars a year to the military.
I would expect nothing less from the Honorable Senator from Connecticut. Sen. Lieberman is an opportunist who only caucuses with Democrats because they are in the majority in the Senate other wise he most assuredly would be caucusing with the GOP. How do I come to that conclusion? Well lets see he worked and supported John McCain in 2008, openly, and he spoke at the Republican Convention that year. Why deny it Joe and come out of the closet? Afraid to lose your chairmanship and all of the clout that goes with it?
Bombs over people. Thanks Joe, You're a real peach!
Steal from the elderly and infirmed, now that is a GOP stalwart.
