GOP wants to screw US over Social Security

[22lcidw]

And that is just the Social Security side. Medicare needs to be raised massively. If it ever is.

 

[Dekster]

Thats total BS.

Boo hoo an extra half percent will bankrupt your fragile finances. We will raise withholdings or the program will go bankrupt. There is no other way to survive the baby boom entitlement generation's protracted deaths.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Not a lie and you fuckers have been attacking So pal Security ever since it began 100 years ago.

And you Republicans will not stop… like you worked Roe for 50 years until you killed it

/——/ We paid into it and I get my $2,300 a month. No one wants to end it you fool.

You mean besides the ultra conservatives in the GOP who have been trying to do that for decades

The third rail of politics whoever coined it is a truism. Once the massive increases in the 1980'soccurred Social Security/Medicare was cemented into perpetuity. Its us that they lied about how long the fund would be self-sufficient. Let's dig up Tip O'Neill and Claude Pepper. They will tell us. We live with age warfare now. And the young uns are paying through the nose.

And here you are attacking Social Security in spite of calling it “ the third rail of politics”.

And what lie was told in the 80’s?

Privatizing anything is a way to kill it

Tax breaks for billionnaires is AOK. Whining about Trans, lets do it. But hold on for one second while we screw our voters over.​

Typical Democrat election year lies.

Just like this from 12 years ago:


"AgendaProject"

 

[Markle]

That's not what he uttered

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This train won't be stopped. One way or another, maybe not now, maybe not five years from now, but sooner or later the retirement age for SS will have to be raised.

Privatizing anything is a way to kill it

Decades ago, Galveston, Texas and two adjoining counties bowed out of SS for a private system. As a result, they have far better benefits, such as death benefits when the earner passes.

Privatizing SS would take power away from Congress. They will not allow that to happen. If they had no control over SS, how could they threaten that Republicans are going to take SS away from you if you don't vote for Democrats?

Raising it to what?

 

[Markle]

Raising it to what?

What is your solution? No, there are not enough "rich" people to bail us out.

 

[initforme]

SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE are two of the greatest programs ever created. There is no reason to lessen them.

How is this "great"?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Not if people continue the trend of obesity, diabetes and drug abuse.

 

[initforme]

How is this "great"?

The people have paid in. Therefore they are entitled.

 

[Markle]

Not an answer. The programs are trillions in debt for the future. How is that great?

We didn't pay enough, so how are we entitled?

And what lie was told in the 80’s?

It was supposed to be solvent until the early 2070's. It was supposedly based on their belief of an average 4% annual GDP growth in the economy. And of course, any changes since then that added beneficiaries. We need honesty. And we get fairy tales. Sadly, a lot of legislation that has future problems, the ones enacted figure they will not be around. Look at the accusations fly today in D.C. this should not be a political issue. Yet it is.
