    Surprise, surprise, Congress reacts to recommendations from deficit commission

    The fact that so many people are reacting to the commissions' suggestion of raising the retirement age for Social Security is indicative of the mindset created by SS. You can retire whenever you choose to retire, but many people have become dependent of SS and will have to wait. If we had left retirement and healthcare to individuals and a free market, plans would have been purhased long ago to meet retirement needs, and many people could retire at 50 or 55.

    I noticed the commission doesn't address Obamacare, and I haven't heard anything about cutting out all corporate welfare. It might be in the recommendations, but I haven't heard it mentioned.

    I have one suggestion to fix the deficit problem -- stop statism!
