Now that this Constitutional obscenity has been illegally passed by an unrepresentative Congress in violation of its own rules and signed into law by a “President,” what happens?
Well, making calls to your Congress-critter is like locking the barn door after the horse leaves, not that doing it beforehand made much of a difference.
Three things to be done:
- Support candidates who will help us change this– not only in November, but in the primaries. We can’t repeal the bill until after the 2012 election (although Michelle Bachmann and Jim DeMint are trying) when we have a bigger majority and Obama out of the White House, but we can work toward that and minimize the chance of Progressive follow-on bills to make it even worse.
- Support state level nullification efforts. If enough states do this, it will endanger the entire program, even if states with people like Jerry Brown and Schwarzenegger do nothing on California’s behalf.
- Support Constitutional challenges by states and private organizations.
Funding and enforcement freezes are conceivable, if the economy gets much worse. Both Medicare and Social Security are now bankrupt and unfunded liabilities are said to be about $80 TRILLION. Higher treasury borrowing is a foregone conclusion and higher interst rates seem rather likely. Interest payments will likely exceed income tax revenues in a few years. It may be mandatory to start reducing benefits when this happens. This is a red alert coming, folks.
