Reality Check: Obama Cuts Social Security and Medicare by Much More Than the GOP - Derek Thompson - The Atlantic

Millenials are going to be screwed the most. But, then again, they voted for being screwed.

Here's some perspective for you.

If you're interested.

Republicans say they want entitlement cuts. But they want Dems to own them.

"Say?" Obama "said" people could keep their insurance plans. "Saying" so didn't make it true.

But this is what has actually happened:

Are some of you asking why the group didn't have the balls to Occupy?

Furthermore, most people LOSE money on Social Security. They'll get back LESS in benefits than they paid in decades of premiums:

Yep. I'm in my 30s, and fully expect to never see a dime of the money I have put into SS, starting from my first job at 16, through the last 11 years of bring self employed and paying both sides.

If they would let me out of this crazy ponzy scheme right now, they could keep all of the money I have "invested," and I would be fine with that. But to forcibly take money from people for 5-6 decades, squander it, and then scream about needed to cut those benefits, is pretty insane. Had the government invested the money, they would have enough to pay everyone, and still keep some for themselves.

Even worse, liberals "claim" that the return of that 5-6 decades worth of money to those who've paid it (and most will actually get LESS back than they paid in), is "welfare."

Idiotic.

LOL.


Would some of you want the Police to pull the truckers out of their cabs and beat them? That's what you were advocating during the Occupy protest.

You gotta love hypocrisy.
