Sound of insane man screaming here

The Free Press continued its march to irrelevancy yesterday with this dim-witted editorial on cutting the federal deficit. It's bad enough that they continue to bury their collective heads in the sand concerning Gov. Snyder--"bold plan" would be about as far away from my description of Snyder's proposed "budget" as you could possibly get (I'd prefer union busting, middle class destroying, myself)--but they continue to give the completely false impression that Social Security is in some way responsible for a significant chunk of the federal deficit. I'll type this very slowly for the Free Press' editorial staff: SOCIAL SECURITY DOES NOT ADD ONE PENNY TO THE FEDERAL DEFICIT AND NEVER HAS BECAUSE IT IS PAID FOR THROUGH A PAYROLL TAX THAT ALL AMERICANS PAY AND IS NOT TIED TO THE FEDERAL BUDGET YOU FUCKING IDIOTS! Want to get really "serious" about cutting the federal deficit? Raise taxes on the wealthy, invest heavily in infrastructure, withdraw all troops and support from Iraq and Afghanistan, and reduce the military budget by 1/3 to 1/2. Problem solved pronto. Peace, emaycee
