    This might just be me, but I assume the only real way to make a dent in the debt is to cut the major 3:
    · Social Security
    · Defense
    · Medi-care

    We paid into Social Security but they should cut because they stole the money? Doesn't seem right to me.

    Selling my GE stock. Wouldn't be surprised to see a class action lawsuit over this. What a crock.

    Edit: Oops, I knew that didn't sound right......

    You are right, but frankly we are so deep in, it will be painful for all of us to right the ship....

    Stop buying their products. In fact, stop using any Petroleum product and you'll make a statement.

    Sounds like you know that you stepped in it and trying to wipe it off your shoe to me. There are currently 24 country using a flat tax system, but if you think there is no country using it why in the hell do you think it would work?

    I don't buy their products. But I'll still talk bad about them to my hearts content.
