Go away Bush.
Does this guy ever say anything that makes sense?
UP YOURS Jeb.
I reckon he wants to “means test,” to make the “borrowed money” available for all his illegals.
not means tested....but the age should begin to escalate - with reasonable exemptions for those 55 or over, etc....
We’re forced to pay into it and we’d darn sure better get something back out of it. This guy is a moron!
“Bush also wants to phase out benefits for higher earners, who have paid into the system for their entire working lives.
“What about means testing?” Bob Schieffer asked Bush.
“I think it ought to be considered, for sure,” Bush replied.”
Gutless weasels every one! Not a single freaking word about the REAL cause of the Social Security crisis. Simply go back to the disability rules of 1990 and watch the dramatic improvement.
But only the sound of crickets when that gets mentioned.
Um, fist thing Jeb. The as retirement age is no longer 65, its 67. Second you can impose all of that as long as I can get back everything paid in with compound interest for the last 50 years.
I wish this whole family would go away. I think they have done enough damage to the country already.
Bush needs to crawl back into his RINO cave. He wants Amnesty and now “means testing” of your social security benefits. The next thing I expect from this PROGRESSIVE is a proposal to make individual 401K accounts means tested. After all, that’s simply one more step on his progressive road.
First Christie, now Jeb, so they’re getting it into the public arena. We’ll probably see this imposed by the next president, whoever he or she is, via executive order.
So Jebbie is for blatant robbery...
One more reason to show him the door.....
"I think it ought to be considered, for sure," Bush replied.
"So that means you and I will still get our payment and we'll screw the middle class again?, asked Bob Schieffer.
In America, if you work, you will work until you die.
Take the social security benefits away from those who were forced to pay for it over the course of a lifetime, and give it to gangs of illegal drug smugglers and felons, eh, Bushie?
No SS for the wealthy! Jeb needs that money to pay for the educational, medical and entertainment needs of his precious illegal aliens.
I see this as happening eventually and is helping me to decide to start drawing at 62. I could see myself waiting until full retirement age (66 for me) and pulling the same I’d get at 62.
I believe we have “means tested” the Bush name.
Stop it, just stop it.
In many cases this would penalize success, discipline and hard work. If you choose to save for your future instead of spending every dime, the social security benefits you earned would be cut. Reward consumers while punishing savers. What kind of economic logic is that?
Jeb the Fed. He loves big government.
The feds in D.C. have economically gang banged middle America boomers, now they want to completely f*** over the rest. Just make it 78 years old before people can collect the money these corrupt assh*les in D.C. confiscated. Most will be dead before they get a dime back. A win win for fat pension government class.
