Liberals have continuously expanded entitlement programs far beyond stability. They have created generation after generation of citizens more and more dependent on the federal government. This has resulted in greater power for the federal government. We need to do what is necessary to keep these programs from collapsing under a mountain of deficit spending. It is a choice between saving and strengthening these programs, or further weakening and destroying the safety net programs that provide security and poverty protection to those most in need.
We must modernize our federal entitlement programs to meet the needs of current and future beneficiaries, and reduce the financial burden on our children and grandchildren. In many ways our entitlement programs have been successful at protecting millions of Americans from a life of poverty. We need to save and strengthen these programs so that they are there for our children and grandchildren.
Doing nothing is an unacceptable option. We are borrowing four out of every ten dollars we spend, and we’re dependent on low interest rates. If we wait to act, the only solutions will be drastically higher taxes, massive new borrowing, and sudden and severe cuts in benefits or other government programs. Doing nothing threatens our financial security, as well as that or future generations.
