Don't feel bad--I got net two downvotes above for pointing out the numbers showing that federal spending on healthcare and Social Security together gets us substantially closer to being able to fund it (I'm pretty sure they're not wrong numbers--if so, whoever's down voting, just point it out and I'll happily hash it out).

Zealots exist anywhere. Here, have an upvote.

yeah I shouldn't be so touchy. It's probably just controversial issues in general that make people downvote based on the perceived motives of the poster rather than the argument.
