“...NONE of us are apparently willing to part with our particular favorite Gubbermint program....I learned this selling to farmers, who pretend to be the most rock-ribbed patriotic Conservatives in the land, UNTIL you threaten their favorite subsidy program.”
I learned it right here on FR. My guess is that 80% of Freepers will not part with SS. Most Freepers will not even agree that SS is just another government vote buying wealth transfer scheme and will flame you for calling it welfare.

I saw this too even in the tea party where so many were retired. Conservative people didn’t want to hear that ss was socialism. We have been bought and paid for..... and the political elite know it. I see no real solution anymore. It’s all talk election after election. The train will run out of gas.
