Constitutional Convention?

cowhide said:
Who is driving the change in the constitution? Since the Republicans are losing most of the Supreme Court battles, now they want to go around that process so they can change what they don't love about the beloved constitution. Do you really think that this is the only thing they want to change? This is about Gay marriage and the ACA.

There is no way they will get a balance budget amendment because the Republicans will never give up the military spending and Democrats (and most republicans) will not give up their social security or medicare. The balance budget issue should have been addressed centuries ago but I am sure that the founding fathers had no way of knowing how they were going to pay their debt during their lifetime let alone in the future. Each generation talks about it but neither side wants to give up their piece of the apple pie.

When you resort to attacks about bigotry/racism/sexism...you lose me, at this point the hold no susbtance. Just like cries of 2nd amendment and socialism from the right hold no value.

I'm not interested in demonization.

I think what happens is that the process on counting valid requests goes to court and it results in a ruling that places the number of states around 6-10 short of the 34 needed.

SSI is paid from the US Treasury General Fund. Not the Social Security Trust Fund like retirement and disability.

It's paid out by treasury while administered by SSA.

Did you really consider what you quoted as an attack?

Jesus christ Mr. Technical. It doesn't matter. It all comes from the governments budget. If we have a balanced budget we either raise taxes or cut spending. Is there anything I said that you disagree with in principal?

The point was that when you go right into "its about gays" or "the 2nd amendment" you lose all chances of your argument being heard.

Society has destroyed those terms because peopel throw them out left and right unfoundedly.
