There is no money in SS. They are operating in deficit mode each month.
When there was a surplus Congress took it and replaced that with non-negotiable IOU's.
Congress owes SS. There is no surplus left in SS.
Let's see. The SS collections are now less than expenditures, yet the fund is solvent absent any changes, another 27 years. I wonder how that works? Will something have to be done to extend that fund another 50-60 years, yes? And it will.
What is the GOP position on Medicare? They campaigned on protecting Medicare from cuts. After they got your vote, they quickly changed their plan. Perhaps they are laughing, behind their closed doors, at all the people who voted for them in order to preserve Medicare benefits.
The adults are in charge now and the children are back at home playing. EVERYONE knows that entitlements MUST BE CUT. The democrats ignored thier duty to the public and abrogated the decision making process in favor of just spending more money, compounding our debt problem.
It is a hard and painful reality- we have no money left and everyone needs to take a cut. Children do not understand this and just want more treats. Adults understand that the child will get sick with too many treats and end up vomitting in the end.

Entitlements have to be cut because we gave Bill Gates a nice fat tax cut.

All I can say is that the GOP is trying their best to lose the House back to the Dems as soon as possible. Cut Medicare or SS and watch your political career go down in flames. But hey, don't let reality get in the way, go for it.

I hope they stop it all. we deserve third world status because republicans and the tea party are nothing but peasants looking for a king to serve and give everthing to
I see the tea party more of a bunch of peasants looking to force the King and Queen in the White House to stop taxing them out of their homes. Would you rather serve? Yeah, I am a peasant and proud of it. You must be an entitled liberal?
Relax folks .... nothing bad is going to happen to Medicare. The GOP are not going to risk losing 37 million votes. All they are doing is throwing some candy at the neo-cons and tea partiers to shut them up for a while.
