Recession

War does cause more national debt, but that hardly contributes to loss of jobs, etc. I believe the nation will enter a recession though when all the 'baby boomers' retire. All those seniors collecting their 401ks and SS, and all their jobs being filled with new workers making minimum. The entire middle class will be no more, an hour glass effect if you will, either you'll be rich or poor. More on this 'hour glass effect' can be found in the Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (author of "Rich dad poor dad" another great read) book "Why we want you to be rich".

Wow...
You really don't understand how the Social Security Program works...
...
I've read plenty of your other posts and I am beginning to believe you have some sort of sick cynicism about Federal Aid Programs that rob everyone and toss money at leeches (not saying that it doesn't happen- but its not the ONLY thing Aid does)

Really it's a TINY TINY drop in the bucket of spending compared to MANY other American endeavors.
And a small tax INCREASE could eliminate that too.

I am not FOR social Security for the elderly however-
I am for handicapped aid- but not old people aid.
