I stand by my comment. There are too many conservatives watching for any missteps by Romney or Ryan. I believe Ryan as he explains the changes he envisions to SS and Medicare.

The bottom line is IF we do NOT change SS and Medicare both programs will go bust anyway and seniors will lose what benefits they enjoy today.

The Democrats don’t believe that and believe they can tax the rich enough to bail these programs out, but that’s a fantasy.

I believe you are too kind to the left.

They really don't care how SS is funded. If its a direct payment from the Treasury its fine with them as l long as they have the issue to demagogue. Are they truly concerned about anyone at all getting any benefits?--Helll No!! All they want is the issue to carp about!!

It's the same with all their other pawns be it blacks,Hispanics, gays, you name it. They don't give a dam about any of these groups only the issues they provide. Time we told it like it is.

In the end, it comes down to this: both Social Security and Medicare from now on will come under increasing financial pressure as the Baby Boom generation (born between 1946 and 1964) start to reach retirement age, and will continue to do so for at least 25-30 years.

As such, both will need considerable reforming in order for both to be financial viable into the future.
