Could we start with politicians and judges working to tackle the real world problems facing us with no obvious bias on their part?

 Now that's funny, politicians actually doing their job. If we could get Congress to do their jobs, the President would not be making all these "administrative orders". I think most judges try to be impartial and fair. I think most of the bias is in the person who does or does not agree with their decisions. Their job is to apply the law as written. They are human though. |

Um. We cannot even agree on a fishing / hunting forum.
We do not agree on what the real world problems are that impact us.
I assure you my list is different than your list.

I assure you my list is different than your list. i would bet there are quite few things we agree on. We could probably reach agreements on some of them. Example 1: I would propose we freeze all discretionary spending at current levels for 5 years or until Revenue catches up to spending. No tax cuts until that happens. Example 2: I would propose we fix social Security by raising the retirement age to 70, early retirement to 65 and removing the income limit on payroll taxes. Also make it harder to collect disability. |

I agree with Buffet when he said "pass a law that makes congress ineligible for reelection if the deficit is greater than 3% of the GDP" 2. I disagree with you. Like Biden wants more revenue by hiring more IRS agents, I would do the opposite and hire corruption agents and go after the rampant fraud in social security disabilities. I also would take a closer look at our military spending and disabilities and use those saving to fully fund social security. I have one for you that I think we could agree on.... TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS. |

I guess the Vaxx and Covid didnt kill off enough old people. How about we remove from the rolls all of the people that never paid into SSI first and see where we are. |

SSI is a welfare program paid from general funds and has nothing to do with Social Security. Shows how little you know or understand. The only people who can collect Social Security are those who paid in, their spouses through spousal benefits, widows and widowers, and children under 18 under survivor benefits. They are collecting off somebodies payroll taxes that were paid in. Social Security has always been the future generation paying the benefits of the retired generation. That is how the program was created and designed. |
