I think a lot of people would like that plan. "Opt out of all federal programs and pay a 10% flat tax"

[mrnhtbr2232]

He said it was rhetorical, so I'll field a equally-rhetorical reply: HELL YES.

Too many people have been lulled to sleep buy that Siren they can get something for nothing.

That'd be great too but what I'd really like to see is a disbursement of the funds the local, state and federal CAFR budgets.

On a serious note...when Congress was threatening to "shut down the government" they said that no Social Security checks would be sent after that day. Social Security currently has a surplus so how do they do that with a straight face?

:dunno

Wow, lots of good news here. Government shuts down, so they stop sending out SS checks, at this point can I assume they'll stop collecting SS payments as well?

Afterall, why collect the SS tax if no payments are going out?
