Sure the oldsters vote with Republicans, that’s good. I’ll give them credit for that. But when Republicans get to Congress and actually start proposing Social Security reforms, the reforms go nowhere in committee or on the floor, due to strong opposition even from their own party. The oldsters make their voice heard. NO!
That’s why NOTHING has happened on Social Security for many years, since Reagan was in office and raised the retirement age quite gradually.
I disagree, Republicans lose because while the old people are voting for them, the young are throwing them out.
You might want to look at who you are losing elections to, and who are throwing you out of office and blame them, not the people voting for you.
It isn’t the most republican voting age group who is blocking the republicans, it is the most anti-republican age groups who are doing that.
