Would you support this law?

[Delldude]

That was then. This is now.

This is what matters

Well, you are quite wrong and quite partisan in your lame defense of Biden.
What matters to voters is politicians shifting statements over time. They are accountable......always.

Uh no. What matters is the here and now.

And here and now it is Republicans who want to do damage to social security and Dems who are trying to protect and strengthen it.

Regardless of your total bullshit

 

[M14 Shooter]

Uh no. What matters is the here and now.

Unless you're talking about a Republican, of course.
If so, then his entire life - anything he may have ever said or done - is open for scrutiny.

No one is going after SS and Medicare.

Biden made his horrendous statement over SS and Medicare in 1995.....he changed his view.
Mike Lee made his horrendous claim in 2010....he changed his view.
Rick Scott's claim has some merit, if you consider the boomers will be gone and so will the debt load on the plan.....hence, a reexamination of the cost structure and retirement age vs longevity should be reconsidered.
Our leaders in DC worship the EU and their governance, they have raised the retirement age.....it will happen here no matter what party is in charge.

No one is going after SS and Medicare.

Except the GOP

 

[Lesh]

And while Lee said in a tweeted statement on Wednesday that, during his 12 years as a senator, he has not called for “abolishing” Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits, only for “solutions to improve those programs and move them toward solvency,” he has supported benefit cuts. For example, he has endorsed various proposals over the years to raise the Social Security retirement age.

Sounds like a good plan - when SS was created, the average US life expectancy was about 62.
Now, its a little over 77.
Why -not- raise it to 70?

Biden walked it back.
Lee walked it back.

 

[Godboy]

Every program in the Fed Govt has to be looked at freshly at least once every four years to determine if it is still needed

Who is going to do the looking and judging? Im cool if that job is up to the GOP.

 

[Lesh]

BS

Biden walked it back.
Lee walked it back.

Lee is still talking about cuts

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah, they have such a good track record!

Largely because infant mortality was so high back then. Kinda doesn’t affect SS. Does it…

 

[Delldude]

Current link would help you immensely.

 

[Redfish]

That would be interesting. But that would basically turn us into a direct democracy if we voted on every single program.

I think he meant a congressional vote.

 

[Redfish]

Uh no. What matters is the here and now.

you have it completely backwards as usual.

Which, of course, does nothing to change the fact people live much longer now.
So, again:
Why -not- raise it to 70?

Because for the vast majority...when you hit 66 you're physically done

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Because for the vast majority...when you hit 66 you're physically done

True.

But according to the reprehensible right, it’s the 66-year old’s ‘fault’ for having ‘failed’ to pursue another career that wasn’t physically demanding.

This is yet another example of conservatives’ contempt for working Americans.
