Ask a freeper about social security benefits and if they should be reduced or eliminated.

I would be willing to see Social Security benefits reduced or eliminated, even though I'm going to retire soon.

Provided that

ALL means-tested government programs are eliminated FIRST. That means all of welfare, all of Medicaid, all of "Food stamps"/SNAP/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-today, Section 8 housing, etc, etc. ALL OF IT, FIRST. And fire the government employees administering it, sell off the buildings, and a Constitutional amendment that the federal government will not be involved, directly or indirectly, in any future program of charity to the poor.

THEN, I would go for SS being eliminated.

Deal?

“Deal?”

it is a very common pathology for “anti-socialist” conservative wants every other socialist dollar to be withdrawn before theirs is affected.

So will you admit you are a socialist at heart?
