Many Republican politicians make idiotic pronouncements about Social Security and Medicare.

Trump is telling them to stop doing that and I agree with him.

Probably good to not even take SS until you are 68-70 to maximize benefits ... IF you think you will live into your 90s.

I started taking SS as soon as I could when I was 62. I'm 66 now. I had every expectation of living at least until my mid 80s... until I came down with lung cancer three months ago.

I'm glad I retired when I was 51. I've had almost 15 years of mostly excellent health since then.

The only thing you can know for sure about the future is that it will be different than you expect.

A generation would have to say OK, take my SS and I know I won’t be getting any. It’s going to be very hard to find a generation of people that are ok with that.

This is ridiculous, someone who just ran up $8T in national debt now telling us some programs can’t even be looked at for potential cuts to balance the budget.

He expects me to believe there is NOWHERE in the Social Security programs that any fat can be trimmed?

“Yes, many Republicans are calling for raising the age when you’re eligible for Social Security”

Between crime and fentanyl/other drugs, US life expectancy is decreasing. So, Dem policies (oddly enough) may be helping SS and Medicare. Sad to say, criminals and drug users probably wouldn’t have put in much anyway...

The point is that we have idiots, both in the Republican Party and even on FR itself, who are indeed calling for the destruction of Social Security and/or Medicare.

Obviously, anyone suggesting doing such is either an utter immoral, heartless fool who should be damned to hell or a Democratic operative.
