BREAKING: The House GOP just voted a budget bill out of committee that fast tracks ACA repeal and $2 TRILLION in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. We need to flood them with calls to prevent a floor vote.
They have gotten away with so much, they think they can do anything they want. Trump thinks he is the Teflon Don.
I'm sure their thought are if we can separate kids from their parents we can get old people to agree to give up the money they paid into Medicare and Social Security to pay for our tax cuts to the rich.
Absolutely NOT and it is sickening that any American in the 21st Century even think about this. USA is the only western/industrial nation without no universal healthcare, no mandatory paid days off for any reason at work, and among the worst workers’ rights and protection.
Why cut social security that people who worked hard and paid into the system? You want the elderly and retired to be homeless, living under poverty and die off?!
It is always easier to say yes to gutting something you will never use.
Why not give it to the rich now if you don't plan to use it. Trust me it will still be there or if it's not older Americans will be on Welfare when they retire and the government will have to pay it one way or another. The only way they can avoid paying is to become a dictatorship and take away the rule of law and the Constitution and the 3 branches of government, and by then all the old crabby racists who gave away the money to the rich will be dead anyway hopefully.
medicare/Medicaid have fraud, waste , and abuse problems...
ss has a sustainability problem, and needs to be adjusted....like raising the age to 70 or higher
Lift the cap on the social security tax and expand Medicare for all.
