I actually LOVE this. Hasn't the Democrat Party always relied on young people as a solid part of their base? Not if they keep up this "silly" nonsense.
I enroll people in their company retirement plans. Every week, I speak to dozens to hundreds of workers, of all ages. One of the first things I ask them is "Why do we need to save for retirement? Why do we have 401(k) plans?"
The first answer I get, almost every meeting, is: "Because Social Security won't be there!"
I have talked with thousands of real Americans over the past couple of years about their retirement, and I have not met a single person under the age of 40 who has ANY confidence that they will ever see a DIME from Social Security, unless something drastic is done.
If the Republicans would do a better job with SS reform, we could make huge inroads with the 18-30 crowd, even more than what we already have.
Typical left coast liberal - I got mine, screw the rest of the masses.
Frankly, Bush has won enough battles over the years that I have trouble believing his team would do anything as dumb as a Tour extension clearly seems to be. Maybe they've got some trick up their sleeve so brilliant that I can't grasp it. Certainly if there's a trick here I'm not seeing what it's supposed to be.
Somebody please explain why anything the Dems said is not correct, and what the Rovemeister has up his sleeve this time. Thank you.
Social Security benefits are being collected by immigrants who have never worked a day in this country. Worked in their own country, bringing their work record here, and receiving FULL Benefits.
That is why the Social Security system is going defunct. NON citizens are receiving benefits. This is not what the system is set up for, but it has been changed and it is legal. All these people receiving benefits is why everyone born after 1950 will not be receiving their money.
