If repubs win the House next month, they have plans to cut Medicare and Social Security

[Mac-7]

Let's see how many of them run on that.



No way.

Mac1958 wants no limit on the growth of medicare and social security

Which is fiscal irresponsibility

 

[JimH52]

Excellent. These programs never should have been created in the first place. They have no legitimateConstitutional mandate.

Yeah, give that money to your wealthy political donors.

 

[Anathema]

Yeah, give that money to your wealthy political donors

Or better yet, leave it in the taxpayers pocket by not taking it in the first place.

Whats your healthcare grandpa?

BCBS of Massachusetts, through my employer. I’m 48 and don’t actually plan on ever retiring.

 

[Anathema]

Many companies have mandatory retirement. Other companies have unofficial "fire everyone over 50" policies to avoid expensive retirement packages.

What will you do then?

My employer doesn’t have either policy. Besides, I’m wage and job protected per the Union contract.

If it were to happen and I was too old to work elsewhere?… I’ve got 230 grains of .45ACP ready to go up under my chin.

Yet another example of the right’s contempt for sound, responsible governance.

For which you have no idea of whether the claim is true or not....you just stick your nose up the first sheeple's ass and move along.

They need to clear up some money so they can give the 1%ers another tax break.

If you bother to read the article, the republicans aren't planning to cut anything. They are CONSIDERING phasing in increases in the eligibility age for SSA and Medicare. Neither of which would affect current recipients and would result in both programs being more fiscally sound.

Why would we want to give your ilk a tax break?

Because that’s their job.

 

[jbrownson0831]

Because that’s their job.

Whose job?
