I have never been able to stand McCain, but this is a brilliant move as well as being factually true. I have been telling my students and my 29 YO twins not to count on SS and Medicare, but the baby boomers (including me) HAVE been counting on it. I will be blessed to have full NC state retirement as well as my health insurance when I retire in a few years, but it is designed to be supplemented by SS and Medicare. "Sleazy Easley" (who may be indicted for some of his other activities as governor) and the Dems illegally borrowed from the NC State Retirement system a few years ago, so I may be in trouble there as well.

I am watching a fascinating Hannity special right now called Generation Zero which is outlining how BOTH parties (but especially the Dems) have been leading us into a situation that may eventually bankrupt the United States. It is actually a documentary film that has been produced by David Bosse and directed by Steve Bannon. It is frightening to think that this has happened to our country and that it has accelerated so much since Obama was elected and the Dems were given free reign in Washington. They MUST be stopped!

It could be a smart poison pill that unravels this entire process. It exposes the slashes on seniors. If seniors aren’t slashed, then the bill becomes surprisingly expensive. But this is McCain — a name you can’t trust.

You are very unlikely to have either one.

I have US military retirement, and my wife & I have always saved our money. I fully expect that 15 years from now, Social Security will be means-tested, and I’ll lose it all.

I’ll be glad to give it up, tho, IF - huge IF - it is a part of dramatically changing entitlements before our country goes bankrupt.
