My opinion is this; they robbed SS for years, opened Pandora's Box when SSI, originally meant for minors robbed of a working parent through death or dismemberment, was degraded to the point where drunks, junkies and fat people with "anxieties" live the life of Riley on the taxpayers back.
W tried getting SS reform on the agenda, but iirc 911 intervened and by the time reform got near the table again the Rats had retrenched.
As for Medicare, imo it should never have come into existance.
I could go on a full blown rant here on GodGov omnicience, prescience and all around general wonderfulness but the preacher/choir thing reins me in.
“I’m 69, Dufarge is... nevermind, but we’re both on SS (legit, not SSI :O) ) and Medicare and we’d both gladly go for some kind of reform in both programs.”
I agree.
However those that think like us conservatives are in the minority of our generation that spawned the likes of the Clintons and their followers and the current Obama senior administration advisors and officials that grew up in the 60s.
We are outnumbered by those millions of us in early baby boomer generation that grew up in the “Me” era and now want millions in the generations that have followed to pay for all of their excesses.
