Yes The GOP is till wanting to steal YOUR retirement benefits ..... make no mistake about it.

[merrill]

The republican party is still planning on stealing Social Security Insurance, Medicare and Medicaid in addition to blocking YOUR right to Vote. This all began with the Koch Bros about 1976 under the ALEC umbrella. Then Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quale, Bush/Cheney and now trump Vance which in essence represents the republican party. MAGA IS AN ALEC slave. So was the Tea Party.

What the republican party really wants is to divert SSI money into very specific personal bank accounts aka GRAND THEFT.

There is noting wrong with Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid which is why the republican party wants to own them. The same with Public School tax dollars and all government service dollars which are successful.

Why would anyone VOTE REPUBLICAN PARTY = THE PARTY THAT THROWS ITS' CONSTITUENTS UNDER THE BUS.

This will never happen as long as Donald J. Trump sits in the Oval Office. That man is a Tribune of The People!

Oh no! Privatized SS accounts that will allow the elderly to live in retirement with dignity as oppoesd the failing government run SS that puts seniors in a situation that they have to chose between dog food or cat food.

Oh no! Privatized SS accounts that will allow the elderly to live in retirement with dignity as oppoesd the failing government run SS that puts seniors in a situation that they have to chose between dog food or cat food.

I support privitized retirement acounts, where the money is locked away and barracaded for retirement use, where X% of income is required, where investments are insured similar to FDIC accounts.

The problem isn't one of philosophy, the problem is one of transition.

Current SS Retirement benefits are pay-go, meaning current revenues pay current benefits. Current revenues fall into some broad categories:

• Direct FICA taxes on wages
• Interest on the Trust Special Treasury Bills
• Returns on the 50% income tax levied on SS retirement benefits when the gross income exceeds (For single that in the range of $25,000 to 34,000, for married filing jointly it's $32,000 to $44,000). Over those limits there is an additional 35% (85% total) with the additional going
• to medicare.

Under a private account model, I assumme those revenue streams go away, the money remains in the individuals hand to "seed" the private accounts.
.

.
So the questions becomes:

#1 If funds are diverted from the current pay/go system into private accounts, what will be the funding mechanism to pay current benefits.

#2 SS eligibility isn't a binary switch you can turn on and off, so you have a range of people - those in their early 20's just starting out that will have the full benefit of private account growth all the way up to people in their 50's and 60's that don't have time for private accounts to grow to cover retirement expenses. What is the funding mechinism that allows for funding different age groups that have differernt time frames to retirement?

What's the plan?
