Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Doesn't matter too much, since it aint going to happen unless Trump wins, AND the R's take back the house. Neither looks likely at this point.

You mean to say, some senators claim Trump said he might be willing to cut social security and medicare if he is reelected.

You do know what hearsay is, right?

Sure, i hear he say it. Thus hear say

He's been wanting to gut it pretty much from the beginning as he needs to cover his massive tax cuts for the rich and large corpormations
 
Get a job, work hard, set up your own IRA, etc., and the rest takes care of itself. Do we absolutely need Social Security? I'm sure some grandfathering and other similar tweaks would take effect, but still.

Do we really need child labor laws either? If the kids want to earn a little money, let them. And workplace safety rules - let's remove them. Our workers are smart enough to look out for themselves. They can get a different job if they think it's unsafe. And do we really need the 13th amendment anymore? Slavery isn't such a big issue nowadays. Let's let the market decide. And finally, is there some reason we aren't allowed to burn witches anymore? They are everywhere now, a few fires would definitely help thin the herd.

As far as Medicare goes, I have no problems privatizing that. Neither does someone else.

I'm glad you've elected to refuse your social security benefits when you retire.

Social security comes from people having jobs and working hard. People have worked their whole lives to be told they aren't gettibg social security to retire? You may have enough money to not need it. Good for you. But, there are millions who rely on that. Yes, it is needed.

So you're refusing your medicare and social security checks upon retirement? Glad you have that option....I worked with the disabled before retiring...an accident working hard can put you in a wheelchair for 40 years...wife leaves..takes the house...guts the bank account.....PTSD vets......sure...they could all just play the stockmarket and invest in IRAs....if they had expendable income to begin with.and no child support payments or alimony..welcome to American social science....some seniors develop dementia or alzheimers...let's just let them fend for themselves because they didn't work hard enough eh? Took care of a guy who had a life changing stroke at 52....point being...shit happens...and for those who avoid all these pitfalls in the road...count your blessings

It'd be nice to get back something from the program I will have been paying into for 45-50 years when I retire. I'd have been able to put a lot more into my IRA if I'd received that 6.2% instead of it going to that ponzi scheme.
 
Young people with diagnosed mental illnesses get about 400 a month from disabled services …..take that away and then talk about addressing mental illness in public places like malls...etc
Greed is not an excuse for lacking empathy or contributing to a healthy society for families to go out without getting shot at school or the mall...Trump shows no empathy towards poor or disabled people....he even insults disabled people. There are plenty of places to trim fat in our economy but the working class or those without expendable incomes are not where you make up the deficit

They dont care about helping people. They just want to get them out of their way.

Then when they are a "problem" they yell at everyone else to fix the problem they created.

They are fucking greedy idiots.

They know who they are.

Care about people, you fucks.

"The Social Security Administration estimates that 21% of married couples and 43% of single seniors rely on Social Security for 90% or more of their income. According to a 2015 Gallup poll, 36% of near-retirees say they expect Social Security to be a major source of income once they retire."

My poor near illiterate Alabama grandparents had nothing but two checks, one from social security and the other a tiny pension for black lung disease from working in a coal mine for decades. They were lucky to have been able to apply for those pensions since their intellect level was exceedingly low. I assure you that there are many Millions of others in that boat, the bulk of them being in the deep South. ABM living in Tennessee ought to know this from first hand experience. Tennessee is situated directly on top of Alabama and just a hop, skip and a jump from where my grandparents lived in Northern Alabama between Decatur and Huntsville.
Eliminating social security will condemn Millions of Americans to severe poverty and starvation.
Need I even go into the monumental disaster that would result from the elimination of federally run Medicare?

This plan of cutting back on social security and medicare is truly designed by the Three Stooges.

Do you really and truly know what “virtue signaling” is?? Is there really such a thing? Funny that about the only time that term is used by anyone is when that individual (or individuals) don’t have a legitimate response to a question or issue. It’s nothing more than a deflection, used by those who have walked themselves in a corner and have no other way out. Talk about a discussion killer.......

For 3 years they know they have been in the wrong.

For 3 years theyve never had an answer.

Coincidence? Nope.

Not sure who you're replying to. Since there's only one person I cannot see because he's on my ignore list, I'm going to assume that's the person you are referring to.

Great. So you and others can decline receiving it and donate it to others. Very good idea.
 
Reading that article, mentions how Trump said he’d wipe out the $19T debt in an 8 year period during his campaign. It really sucks politicians can just make empty promises and get people excited, get votes and then have no intention of doing it. Why not just run on “I will end cancer, homelessness and guarantee all kids 1600 SAT scores in 8 years. I promise”? Get people fired up and then forget it.
