I don't think tax cuts are going to do it. I think they will have to raise taxes, and spending cuts. And I think it is great idea to earmark any increase in taxes for deficit reduction, and tied to tax cuts.
WW, I don't think Veterans would appreciate your eliminating the VA, and exactly how would we function without the Treasury Department? Social Security? DEA, FBI, CIA?
I think you see where I am going. If you think hard about it, I don't think you are going to want to live in a country without government. I know it is very fashionable to disparage government and government employees, but I think it is just uninformed.
What I don't like is seeing retirement becoming a dirty word and people's retirement age being pushed out. There are some people that still function at a very high level into their elderly years, but what about those with health issues, or those that work in very physical trades? Do you really want bus drivers who are 70 years old? 70 year old firefighters, police officers, etc. Additionally to some extent our employment system relies on the older people retiring to make room for the young people.
It's one of those things that sounds very good in theory, but on a practical basis?
I think 65 is old enough.
