Threads like this make me weep for my country. It seems it’s a lost cause when even those on our side refuse to consider even modest repeal of big government.

Indeed. When even the ‘conservatives’ don’t have the least grasp of fiscal reality, you know we’re hosed.
I better start stocking up the ammo and canned goods.
I agree, threads like this make me weep for my country, but not in the way you are suggesting. I’m appalled that there are actually people on a conservative site that believe the people who actually saved for their retirement in addition to having their money taken from them for SS, should now be penalized for making good decisions. It not only makes be weep it makes me sick.
Why do I believe the people who think this way are, for the most part, either those already receiving SS benefits, and know their payments are safe, or those who believe they won’t be considered “wealthy” enough to have their SS taken away from them.
I think people better think twice about the definition of wealthy, because it could very well be you.
That is the EXACT phrase I started to type before. O will go out on the trail and proclaim SS safe and sound under his reign.... Turn out the lights; it's over.
Not even the so-called "right" will agree to a reduction in government spending.
FDR and Fabian were right.
