The posts here just confirm what I’ve been saying for years about why nothing will ever change in Washington.
Everybody wants to cut spending and pork EXCEPT for their own pet programs.
Social security is not a ‘pet program.’
It’s a system instituted by the government and forced on us.
A large percentage of senior citizens depend on their social security for basic living.
Perhaps it should have been changed years ago, but it wasn’t. You saw what happened to George W. Bush when he tried social security reform.
People are amenable to reform now and it can happen if a sensible, compassionate (sorry about the word—I know it offends some of you) plan is proposed.
