I think they should leave SS alone and concentrate on cutting aid to Muslim sh*t holes, cut welfare and aid to illegal aliens who are sucking our country dry.

Why can’t people look up the simple numbers and stop spouting this nonsense?

All foreign aid is $58 billion a year.

All spending (calculcated by FAIR, not a sympathetic bunch to illegals) is $100 billion a year (at all levels of government).

Spending on retirees by the federal government on Social Security and Medicare is $1.29 Trillion.

If you want them in like terms:

What you propose cutting : $0.158 trillion
to cover problems with
$1.29 trillion.

Is that clear enough?

This doesn’t even get into the fact that the senior spending is growing at an alarming pace.

Either people will face facts soon or we’re looking at a Weimar economy.
