Let's cut from retirees in middle income brackets rather than increase taxes a couple percent on millionaires.

    privatize social security, privatize medicare. I hope all of you republican voters who paid into the system for 40 years enjoy having your benefits cut so we can stuff more money into the pockets of privative insures.
    Maybe trump if he follows through on his promise will stop it. but he hasn't come out against it yet and his transition team is full of privatizers

    I think you actually do care if your benefits are cut and given to wealthy friends of politicians. I can only imagine the screaming if Hillary announced people in her cabinet with ties to Goldman Sachs and Exxon.

    What bank and energy company do you think she would have installed?

    America doesn't run without bankers and lowest cost/highest efficiency energy.

    Even you know that (right?)

    If they would stop paying out to people who don't deserve it and didn't earn it this wouldn't be a problem.

    W tried to stop it from operating like a Ponzi Scheme, but he had a terrible idea for the vehicle and the fund would have almost vanished within a year of it's implementation when the economy crashed.

    If they just had a fund that wasn't touched and only payed out benefits to those who contributed and based it on how long they paid in it would work fine. Like a 40 quarters = 50%, 120 quarters = 100% and prorate everything in between. Zero chance politicians would leave a pot of money that big alone though.

    Trump ran on a campaign of bringing in outsiders and people who would reject big business and big politicians. He blasted Hillary for talking about someone with ties to Goldman Sachs in her cabinet. Then.... He surrounds himself with big business and the president of Goldman Sachs.

    Are you really that oblivious or just stupid?

    Agreed. If you can't work as a 95 year old widowed grandmother, you should just kill yourself.

    just ahead of you.

    you should stop worrying about how you believe others who don't think like you should worry about stuff that doesn't matter.

    I have no problem with people providing financial assistance to a 95 year old widowed grandmother. I also have no problem with people planning for and saving up their own retirement so that they don't become old and poor. Just don't force people to do it. The use of force isn't the only solution.

    Oh it doesn't matter when Trump walks back on his campaign. But Obama is a liar cause he didn't implement all his campaign promises.

    Shut the fuck up you partisan tool.

    What matters is that you lost.

    It also matters that you don't understand why and continue to fight what you don't understand. But do what ya gotta do, man.
