I am 73 years old and it will affect my childern and grand children and some have already paid into Social Security as it will not be there for them when they become of age. And anything that affects my childern and grand children it affect me.
You've hit the nail on the head here. Team Romney/Ryan expects we'll be dumb enough to take their offer of preserving ours while screwing our kids and grandkids out of theirs.
Sorry, that won't wash with me either.
For those yelling about how it's "insolvent?" That's easily fixed, ain't it? Just raise the maximum income level for FICA taxation and the problem is solved. Moreover, when we Boomer's are gone, the system will be fine. It's just a temporary condition based upon our all getting old, but y'all are acting like it's permanent. Only a fool would make a permanent correction for a temporary problem and that's exactly what the GOP thinks we ought to do.

DAMN RIGHT IM ENTITLED AND NOT A VICTIM
Unless Romney makes me a victim by turning my Medicare to a voucher program and privatizing my Social Security.
I worked 50 years and sometime two jobs and put my self through college without any help but a full time job and raised three kids in the process. I paid into the system, paid into two wars I did not support, paid into a welfare system I never used, paid into unemployment insurance and never had to use and now my Social Security insurance policy entitles me to Social Security and Medicare, $10 in food stamps, (that Romney want to begrudge me?) a discount on my prescriptions.
My dad invested his future into social security and never lived to collect after working 40 years. He was not able to pass his insurance policy on to his survivors, but Romneys dad investment was pass on to him and gave him a head start. African slaves worked and built the country and the toils of their labor was not pass on the survivors to give them a head start.
Social Security is one investment that is not pass on to surviving relatives in the form of stock.
Damn right I am entitled, but I am not a victim yet but Romney has all intentions to make me one if he is elected to look out for my interest. A big no thanks Romney.
Hey IDIOT.. If you worked 50 years, you must be at least 66 years old which means Romney's plans don't even affect you. FAUX OUTRAGE NOTED.
If you worked 50 yrs, then your about 6 years older than me....
I won't be losing anything....nothing will change for people close to retirement (over 55).
So your rant is a bunch of BS.
Besides, if you don't think SOMETHING needs to be done with SS then your nuts! If it weren't for our government "borrowing" so much of it, giving it out to people who didn't put into it, using it to fund Obamacare, we wouldn't be in this spot. Something has to be done or there won't be anything there in a few years!
Stop your whining.....
So, what if you're in your early 50's and been putting into the system for 30 - 40 years? Tough shit? If you want to fix SS and Medicare, just lift the 100K contribution limit.
That's utter bullshit! You earn the maximum benefit of $1855 with a 10 year earning average of about $98.000. If you up the max contribution, you are just stealing more money from people without giving them anything in return.
killing SS is not saving it you fools
Nobody is KILLING it.....fool
Do you NOT know the money is not going to be there when you need it because our government has taken so much from it and not put it back??
They need to STOP giving it to people who never put into it....and only give to people what they actually put in it. And i can see a wife getting what SS her husband may have put in, but ONLY the amount he put in.
Actually, they should just get rid of it and let the people put away for their own retirement. If they don't do it, then it'll suck to be them when they retire!
You probably wouldn't like that then, since you probably never paid in....you would have had to work.
OH .... THAT'S RIGHT! You said you were a teacher! Lol!
the only believable thing about that is her being part of a union...
Killing SS?? What an idiot you are.
It needs fixing.
My idea of fixing it is to let people take out ONLY what they have in it. I'm sure the program will lose its popularity in no time. After all SS only draws 1% interest. Any bank in the Union would give you better odds with YOUR money.
Yep. They should let folks know that they can only take out what they put into it. Popularity gone. Program hopefully gone.
Social Security is fine and it grows stronger with the eoncomy and privatizing is not the answer. Vouchers are not the answer to Medicare.
If Romney don't trust bank with his money, why should I? Banks go under and have to be bailed out by government so I stay with government.
You missed the point.
You should only be allowed to TAKE OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU PUT IN. Not the money of the folks coming behind you.
Doubt the program would be popular if that were the case. Its easy to live on someone elses money.
If you want to leave your money with Govt then feel free. I'll take a good bank with higher interest on my money any day of the week.

OH .... THAT'S RIGHT! You said you were a teacher! Lol!
Say what??!!! TM is a teacher??? Of freaking what?? Perhaps at a circus freak show but a teacher of real children?? I'll bet if someone goes back and traces the kids who had the misfortune of being stuck with her in a classroom, the majority are probably scarred for life!
My sons calculus professor in a SUNY college, 4 years ago, spent an entire session DICTATING the virtues of an Obama presidency and the evils of a McCain presidency....I say dictating becuase no one was allowed to respond to what he said.
What TM teaches is not an issue. The fact that one who is so jaded and so out there having the right to speak to our children without supervision is what is concerning.
do you believe anything TM says?
Seriously?
I have TM on ignore. A year of reading her crap was more than enough.
As for believe her? I dont think even SHE believes most of what she spews.

Yup...that's what she said a long time ago. She just won't tell us what she taught!
I don't think it was English (spelling), economics or history tho....Lol!

I only have 2 people on ignore. I've considered putting TM on it, then i wonder what i'd do without all that entertain she gives me! Lol! But it is really hard not to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't believe everything you read. I do understand your concerns as there are those out there lying about what will actually happen. To get a little better perspective on what they actually are advocating, which will help save it for your children and grandchildren, to actually save them from seeing to go belly up, read this link -
Romneys 60 Minutes Fix For Social Security and Medicare
And, did you know that Bush actually wanted to change it for the younger generation so they could pass it on to their children?
Assuming you have worked all those years, you surely have built up quite a nest egg. My parents told me that to never rely on SS for your retirement years. It's just a small check.DAMN RIGHT IM ENTITLED AND NOT A VICTIM

Putting her on ignore would be paramount to duct taping someone like Mike Tyson.. The entertainment value outweighs their mental retardation..
