aye that
pay unemployement benefits before the active military? I think not. Cut unemployment checks in half and pay them both.
I have seen no effort by the administration to ask which retirees would be willing to forego all or part of their SS for some period of time- 6 months, or a year - certainly some would volunteer. Stop allowing SS for those age 62 unless they are certified as disabled
MEDICARE costs can be immediately shifted more onto individuals by establishing and raising deductibles
Ditto with MEDICAID, no more “free” visits, pay $1 or $5 or $10 and cut down on abuse of the system
Cut the cap gains tax to 10% for a 1 yr period, and stand back
I think you are making an error here.
Social Security is a retirement Ponzi scheme started years ago based upon unrealistic retirement expectations. It was expanded to include disability.
I am in favor of any plan which uniformly decreases the impact of Social Security on our economy. I am not in favor of any change which justifies MORE intrusion into our lives by the federal government, as would be the case with a "disability only" change to Social Security.
There is no need to change Social Security any more than it has already been changed. Just put it on an elimination track and forget it. Let the individual states decide what they want to do about disability or anything else which should be none of the federal government's business.
I'm willing to forego any percentage of my Social Security check as long as every recipient is reduced by the same percentage. I am not willing to surrender to the federal government the opportunity to increase its ability to redistribute wealth.
