Steve, 
This was President (and General) Eisenhower's last speech as president:
He warns us of the military industrial complex. Here is the youtube link:

Please try to realize that the politicians are posturing. (They remind me of rooters fighting in the yard.)
Social security is not part of what is being considered.
Disability is not part of what is being considered.
They are talking about income tax for people making more than $ 250,000 year.
They throw in a lot of other stuff to confuse the issue.
The t.v. is doing this financial talk 24 hours a day on all the channels and will do this until the end of the year. Take some breaks from the t.v. or watch some other channels.
Both sides are trying to upset us. It is a lot of shouting and hollering.
I understand, Steve, that this is upsetting. I hope that you are going to be o.k.
