Feb 9, 2012 - What they need to do is get down to the nitty gritty of where the debt came from and much like the US I bet the Greek debt comes from too much military spending. People that don't rely on social programs are quick to put the blame there, but when you look at budgetary figures its simply not the case. There needs to be an accounting for all the money, where it went and not just the general item (we need receipts for each Dollar or Euro).

THE MONEY DEBT SHOULD BE FORGIVEN. THIS WONT HAPPEN BECAUSE THE POLITICIANS ARE SELLOUTS AND CROOK NWO MINIONS. IF I LIVED THERE I WOULD BE PISSED! GOD BLESS ALL MY GREEK BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

Feb 9, 2012 - Now Greece got 130 BILLION Euro from the European union and they are STILL mad? Im getting fed up with Greece's obnoxiousness ! If it wasn't for the European union Greece would be totally bankrupt now and there would be NO pensions, NO work relief and NO jobs! You would be totally BROKE! So instead of making everything harder for yourself and protesting against everything the European unions is trying to do to help why don't you try and help resolve the situation! ! !

Feb 9, 2012 - Lol. So Greece should take the loan package or no? Now, Greece gets to decide which pay cheques will be cut. If Greece goes to default, everyone and everything will be on the chopping block.

Feb 9, 2012 - It's not military spending. It's lavish govt spending. Social programs beyond what it can afford. There is no free lunch.

Feb 10, 2012 - Well have you looked the pentagon budget compared to social programs? I hate to tell you this but its not a free lunch if we pay all our lives into social security then don't see a penny, its called robbery. Yes we expect the lunch if we're going to be paying taxes so its not free. I'm not sure where you get these weird ideas that its not military spending, plus we don't pay taxes so that money can go to Halliburton and others, we actually have a separate tax for SS which is solvent.

Feb 10, 2012 - Everyone is a tax collector or an accountant. Have you looked into the numbers to see where the money is going and how the debt was accumulated? If you have show me where. Sees kinda fishy if the government blows money knowing it will go into debt and have to borrow from their "buddies" in order to pay it off with interest, don't you see a conflict of interest there?
tjohn1986 Wypowiedź:
Feb 10, 2012 - I am all for cutting the military budget but you seem to be in denial. Go look at the pie chart, military spending is about the same as medicare and medicaid combined. SS is solvent? Haha. Do you even know how much the unfunded liabilities are? By 2020 SS, medicare and medicaid will eat up the whole budget. No money left for anything else. Go look it up if you don't believe me. Burying your head in the sand will not change facts.
WashingtonEnema Wypowiedź:
Feb 10, 2012 - Well there are two things you're forgetting, one is they took money from the SS fund in order to fund the wars and two its a separate tax so no money should have been taken from it. According to some figures it would have a surplus of 1 trillion right now. I think people forget about all the people that payed into the system and died before they could collect on it or people that are well off enough that don't need it. They've also been cutting the benefits.
WashingtonEnema Wypowiedź:
Feb 10, 2012 - cont. remember a while back when they were asking people what they would cut in order to stay within the budget? Well apparently most of the budget was going to military and interest on debt. Schools, Medicare, and social security weren't even close. So I'd like to see your pie chart and who its coming from because I feel that there are people promoting this idea you have in order to steal the taxes. If they can't prove where each dollar went then I'd be suspicious.

Feb 10, 2012 - Federal spending for 2011: Medicare & Medicaid - $835 billion, SS - $725 billion, Defense - $700 billion. How is this so complicated?? People dying is not a problem for SS. They paid $40 million to dead people last year LOL

Feb 11, 2012 - So yeah you forgot to mention the location of your numbers? Is that from the official gov site? got a link?
tjohn1986 Wypowiedź:
Feb 12, 2012 - Jesus Christ just look up the federal budget for 2011. Why are you even trying to argue with me if you're this Goddamn ignorant.
WashingtonEnema Wypowiedź:
Feb 12, 2012 - Didn't I just get done telling you I saw the numbers and they're weren't close to what you said they were? I just know certain people with an agenda have a habit of fudging the numbers or getting their numbers from unofficial websites. Pay attention to the conversation next time, you would have realized I mentioned seeing the numbers before. Social security has its own fund so if its true that they took money out for wars, then they need to pay it back. Its solvent.
