And the elderly, when cutting SS and Medicare is always on the Republican agenda.
The answer is, they fall prey to right wing fearmongering. And the fall for it again and again and again.
Cutting SS, is to make sure that the program is solvent. One only has to look at the program, to see cuts are being proposed in increases in payment rates, not to what someone put into the program. I am amazed how people think this way...there simply isn't enough going into the program to support beneficiaries. I would welcome the opportunity to manage my own SS, through some sort of private account. At least I wouldn't have to worry about Libs trying to do more income and wealth redistribution...
