Better Idea For What Bill To Pay

So, Obama says the Social Security may not be paid after 8-2-11 if they don't reach an agreement. I have a better idea. Rather than not paying the people who need that small check (and I mean SMALL) every month, let's not pay any politician for the next year and see if that helps them to work a little harder for the US, the little people.

1. I have long advocated that we take their health insurance away

until we ALL get the same.That would solve the Medicare for All thing.

2. Good Idea

also, withhold money from the states and districts which have Republican Senators and House Members.
I know this will hurt the innocent, but it is the goodies which they give the states which helps keep them in office.

3. That just means the lobbyists will be the only ones paying them

While I like your idea, the salaries and benefits of the entire political class, even at the state and local level, pale in comparison to what Social Security needs every month over what it takes in.
