Breaking out the social security scare in time for the election.

Scaring old people will help get them to the polls.

Democrat policies are the ones that are a threat to social security in medicare. But the useless republicans haven’t figured out how to win that argument the last 40 years.

The ‘scare’ has been public since day one of the illegal\unconstitutional Ponzi scheme.

Not sure what you mean re: (R). I haven’t even seen ‘em try to do anything to SOLVE the ‘problem’ but post-pone the inevitable by kicking the can down the road (raising age limits, means testing, etc.).

True that, the one time they did float that trial-balloon about ‘privatizing’ SS, they got their @ss handed to ‘em. But, again, I don’t recall even the beginnings of a conversation on the ‘why’

IMO, (R) don’t know HOW to ‘win’ these debates/battles, they don’t WANT to give up the power, just like the Leftists.

Agree, timing is everything with the media. This story pops on primary day, but who does it benefit? Dems promise the moon and never produce, Trump actually gets thing done despite them. I’m glad the issue comes to light now, great campaign topic for someone who can fix it. Republicans can pound the Dems with it, but they better get on it.....

In fairness, Republicans in recent years (at their peril) HAVE proposed significant changes to Social Security with the intent of saving it for the long haul.

I recall GWB proposing a credible partial privatization plan, affecting no current retirees, which still left the Democrats and their media minions caterwauling so loudly about his "heartlessness" that he scrapped the whole idea.

The Democrats never propose changes or fixes to Social Security, but scream bloody murder when a Republican dares to even approach the third rail.

So, here we sit, with no hope of a solution anytime soon.

why do we always get told that Medicare and Social Security is over and “Broke” but never the ‘Food Stamp or “Welfare” program?
