We have to encourage home ownership, except for those people who can actually make the payments.

When Republicans take control of the House, they need to have their own Debt Panel and do things that help bring this country together.

That’ll make The One really popular!

Isn’t it time that a few Republicans started pointing out that Obama has already cut social security, with the blatant lie that there has been no rise in the cost of living over the past couple of years?

This is absolutely ridiculous! ridiculous! And these are government workers, many who never put out a lot of effort out for their work nor their pay. I used to be a state gov worker, so I know what I am talking about.

Whaddya mean recommend?.. they already have cut it. If you have a pension and are ready to collect, what you receive is about half of what they report you will get.

Somehow, raising the retirement age to 68 by 2050 doesn’t seem like much of a fix.

This is baloney.

“That ought to go over well.............”

It seems to me that the Dem plan is:

1 - Take a bad situation and make it worse.
2 - Blame the situation as it stands on lack of Republican co-operation.
3 - Suggest remedies that are totally unworkable.
4 - See step 2.

Loads of old people and baby boomers as well as huge numbers of youngsters voted for an Islamic Malcom X.

They have not clue and TV will support Obama till the end. TV will keep confusing the old folks and other idiots who watch TV.

Reuters reports that the increase to age 68 would be implemented by 2050 and then would increase again to 69 by 2075, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity to Reuters. A "hardship exception" would be provided for members if certain occupations where older retirement would be unrealistic, Reuters reported

In other words, all union members will be able to retire early, with full SS benefits. Damn Democrats!
