"It's clear that the Social Security and Medicare programs are actuarily unsound, with multi-trillion dollar deficits projected within the next few decades. What do you propose as a plan to bring the expenditures of these programs in line with their income?"
It's just too bad that the Huckster has been kicked to the kid's table because I'd love to watch him blow smoke on this one.
And it’s similarly too bad that Christie has been demoted, because wrong as he is on many other things, he is dead right on this one.
RE: Social Security
Ted Cruz provided a good compromise answer to this in the CNBC debate which we’ll have to seriously consider -— Keep the promises to the retirees and near retirees but allow the younger folks ( he mentions people his age and younger ) to put money in their own tax free retirement account similar to what the Federal government allows its employees to do.
Unfortunately, the last CNBC debate did not ask any questions about Medicare ( they preferred the gotcha questions, which Ted Cruz amazingly summarized in less than 40 seconds ).
