I have a suggestion as to who to stiff first.
1.) SS Disability. Let’s make absolutely sure that those who collect really cannot work.
2.) Government Employees. Do we really need as many government employees as we now have?
3.) Gold-Plated Government Medical Plans, all taxpayer-funded, of course. Let them deal with Medicaire, just like all the rest of us.
4.) Gold-plated Government Retirements. ALL government employees have to work to 62 minimum before retirement, just like civilians. Also, defined contribution plans, instead of the taxpayer-funded pensions.
After ALL OF THE ABOVE are done, then I say we talk about SS.
With that plan, there's no risk of us ever talking about SS. You're making my point.
However, when this particularly large generation of grasping seniors finally dies off and quits squeezing younger Americans, the latter may be so sick of government that they may appreciate small government more than their parents. But, for right now, there's an overabundance of senior voters and they have themselves an ATM machine. And, no politician has the nerve to object.
