The scenario that we cut off the slackers is the one I’ve been promoting to my friends for several years, it’s the only one I see that has any hope of working.
BUT, we need to remember that all the gov’t giveaways weren’t designed to help the poor, they were designed to help the folks who help the poor and provide government jobs for people who will reliably organize for and vote for Democrats. They aren’t going to give up without a big fight. You are already hearing Barack Obama talking about means testing, I know where he’s going with that, and FRAYDNA52, don’t think for a minute that your (or my)careful planning is going to be rewarded. The only advantage I have over you is that I’m 68 and may not live long enough to lose my money. When the politicians need our money to keep their house of cards standing they will find a way (in the interests of fairness of course) to take it.
