Will The GOP Plan To Raise The Retirement Age For Social Security Be Very Popular?

[Ray From Cleveland]

I also like the idea Manchin is proposing, collecting FICA taxes on ALL earnings instead of capping it at 160K. I never really understood the cap in the first place. I'm also not against means texting SS benefits. Yes, people have paid into it, but, does Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the like really need SS checks?

Of course not. They paid the max into the system and won't collect. They have no need to. That's why having them paying even more is more unfair.

But they DO collect.

Will the republican plan to turn the US into Russia, ever be popular?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at an event organized by white nationalist Nick Fuentes on Friday night. On Saturday morning she claimed to have no idea who Fuentes is or what he’s about.

Rep. Greene was a last-minute booking at the America First Political Action Conference, an event for that organization which is led by Fuentes. On Saturday morning, she was part of a panel discussion at CPAC 2022 in Orlando.

Will the republican plan to turn the US into Russia, ever be popular?

After Dems tried that for 100 years? LOL!

What are you, 12 years old? LOL!

That's all the Dems did since 1917. It only
stopped when they needed an excuse for Hillary losing.

WOW, still regurgitating Hannity?

Obama was referring to the missile defense system, that was aimed at Europe and Russia.
You know what Obama did?
Of course not, Trumps son didn't broadcast that.

You know what Trump did about it?
Of course not, Trump's son didn't broadcast that.

Trump cancelled the agreement, signed by Reagan in 1987.
Leaving Russia to mount unlimited missiles along their border with Europe, just like Trump's daddy wanted.

Why would Obama need to wait until after the election to surrender on missile defense?

 

[Smokin' OP]

1) Negotiate.
2) Obama didn't.
3) Trump did surrender.

Why did Obama stop us from building missile defense in Europe?

"Our new missile defense architecture in Europe" will be "smarter, safer, and swifter" than the plan authorized by predecessor George W. Bush, Obama said during brief remarks at the White House.

The decision is yet another reversal of a Bush administration policy, though Obama said he agreed with Bush's assessment that Iran's missile program poses a threat.

May 12 2016
The U.S. launched a new ground-based missile defense system in Romania Thursday, sparking fresh tensions with Russia, which quickly blasted the system as a threat to its security.

The U.S. has long insisted that the shield is directed against rogue states like Iran and not intended to target Moscow’s missiles, but Russian officials have slammed the move as an “attempt to destroy the strategic balance” in Europe.

“The United States’ Aegis ashore system is declared certified for operations,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday at the ceremony launching the system.

“Missile defense is for defense,” he added. “It does not undermine or weaken Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrent.”

So which one did Obama cancel when he was sucking up to Putin?

Justifying Attack on Social Security, House Republican Claims People 'Want to Work Longer' | Common Dreams

Republican Rep. Rick Allen of Georgia suggested last week that he would support raising the Social Security retirement age—a policy change that would slash benefits across the board—because people have approached him and said they "actually want to work longer."

www.commondreams.org

"Republican Rep. Rick Allen of Georgia suggested last week that he would support raising the Social Security retirement age—a policy change that would slash benefits across the board—because people have approached him and said they "actually want to work longer." Allen is a member of the Republican Study Committee, a House GOP panel that released a policy agenda last year calling for gradually raising the "full retirement age" from 67 to 70, partially privatizing the New Deal program -- House Republicans have repeatedly signaled in recent months that they will exploit every point of leverage they have—including a fast-approaching showdown over the debt ceiling—to pursue long-sought cuts to Social Security under the guise of "saving" the program from a non-existent financial crisis."


I definitely hope the GOP will start being more serious about drastically cutting if not, totally ending Social Security instead of just talking about it....If you look at the polls, the majority of the US would totally support cutting and or ending Social Security, since the only people who benefit from it are old poor people who were too dumb to invest in the free market for their retirement savings -- and like disabled people and other lazy losers....

Raising the age to 70 is a decent start but why not raise it to at least 75 or 80. The amount of people who would be dead by then would drastically save on costs as there will be less people to mooch off of our tax dollars...But the ultimate goal should always be doing away with it all together and allowing Americans to do their own retirement planning instead of relying on government to do it.....since Social Security has been in existence, it has been a failure...which is why it is the least popular Democrat policy in the last 70 years....Republicans need to be more upfront with the voters about how evil Social Security is and how we need to get rid of it.

I suggest they start slowly. Raise it to 70 for ten years just on registered republicans. Let’s see how that fairs. If the gop congress is still in office, then we can do it for everyone.

Now you're on to something. I think the Republicans should have a special tax on Democrats to pay for all the subsidies on electric vehicles, all the new taxes on fuels like oil and coal that Dementia imposed, the billions on charging stations few people will use, the bridge they want to tear down because they think it's racist, college loan relief and the 87,000 new IRS workers.

Think they'd mind if we just sent them a bill in the mail?

How about the subsidies the Trump led gop paid the banks, oil companies and covid victims they lied to.

Will the Democrat plan to import workers from shit hole countries be very popular?

Nobody lied about anything. Trump made predictions but left the recommendations to people like Fauci who spoke very often at his daily press briefings. Trump never gave iol companies any subsidies. That would have had to be passed by Congress. But if you really want to go there, how about Dementia pay for the 170,000 fentanyl deaths he caused in this country with his open border policies?
