I am familiar with the position of Trump on Social Security. He is for preserving it entirely. In his own words >> "we cannot cut either Social Security or Medicare benefits. That's off the table. Those programs can be saved by growing the economy." Donald Trump, Crippled America, pg. 74).
I am not familiar, however, with the positions of Ted Cruz or John Kasich on Social Security. I've checked their websites, and I see nothing to indicate any position on preserving it or cutting it. I wonder what Cruz thinks about Social Security. If his position as strong as Trump's. If not, he would be endangering the financial security of millions of senior citizens, and putting the chances of a Republican victory in November in extreme jeopardy. Both Democrat candidates are in favor of preserving Social Security, and yes it is indeed the 3rd rail of politics. No other issue can take a candidate right out of an election more efficiently.
While young people are busy getting stoned and out getting as much sex as they can, seniors vote in droves. I vote by mail now, but in 2012, I voted in a public place set up for voting. There were about 50 people in that room voting. I think I might have been the youngest person in that room. I am 70.
So if anybody knows what the Cruz position is on Social Security and Medicare, I'd like to hear it.
Besides Social Security, I also receive a VA pension. I don't worry about Trump cutting that, because he is quite strong on veterans. As with Social Security, I don't know about Cruz on the VA benefits either.
