WE ASK OUR GOVERNMENT TO FIX THE BUDGET DEFICIT WITHOUT REDUCING EXPENDITURES FOR ANY PROGRAM.
WE ASK YOU TO INCREASE THE ELIGIBILITY AGE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE FOR NEW RECIPIENTS BY TWO MONTHS EVERY YEAR TO ADJUST FOR INCREASING LIFESPANS. THIS WILL MAKE BOTH PROGRAMS SOLVENT FOR THE REST OF THE CENTURY AND ELIMINATE ANY DRAIN ON THE GOVERNMENT.
WE ASK YOU TO PLACE AN EXPENDITURE LIMIT ON MEDICAID AND ON ALL DISCRETIONARY SPENDING LINES SET AT THE NUMBER OF DOLLARS SPENT IN 2012. THIS WAY NO PROGRAMS WILL HAVE TO BE CUT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A BALANCED BUDGET IN 7 YEARS . TO THE EXTENT BUDGET SURPLUSES APPEAR USE THE MONEY TO PAY DOWN THE DEBT.
THE COURSE OF ACTION WE ARE REQUESTING WILL PUT OUR HOUSE IN ORDER WITHOUT DRACONIAN CUTS AND IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS SS AND MEDICARE.
