McConnell: Time to confront 'spending addiction'

Eliminate a lobby(bribery)within the corrupt wallstreet congress

Outrageous spending should have been stopped long before it got to this point. As Barney Fife would say, Niip it, nip it in the bud.

Time to confront campaign contribution addiction!

I think we all know we need to cut spending... Its where those cuts are made that causes the fight. What I don't understand is why when we talk about cuts its always those that benefit the most needy of american people that are cut first instead of corporate welfare, foreign countries and our bloated military contractors.
Where were all these people screaming about cuts when we were racking up these huge debts in the last decade? This bloated debt didn't just happen,its like a snowball rolling down hill gathering momentum...

Start supervising major banks<with 20 year sentences for abuse and stealing

Medicare and Social Security are not "entitlement programs." Millions of us worked for many years to pay for this small piece of security.

Corporate welfare cost treasury 2 trillion per year<that would be good start

Shame on you Senator for wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare without even considering corporate tax reform and defense spending .

time for obama and congress to Leave Social Security and Medicare alone - American Seniors Earned those Benefirs ...........Welfare Cheats and Illegals are why these programs are broke - and of course washin#$%$on Stealing $$ from these programs needs to STOP too

Hey McConnell,
The funds in Social Security & Medicare is NOT yours and is NOT an Entitlement.

Here are the facts;

Definition of Social Security: “Benefits are funded by taxes imposed on wages of employees and self-employed persons. In the case of employment, the employer and employee are each responsible for one half of the Social Security tax, with the employee's half being withheld from the employee's pay check. In the case of self-employed persons (i.e., independent contractors), the self-employed person is responsible for the entire amount of Social Security tax.”

Medicare is funded by revenue from a 2.9 percent payroll tax levied on employers and workers (each pay 1.45 percent) established by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) and the Self-Employment Contributions Act of 1954.
