aubiefifty 18,398 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 why do the repubs always threaten to do away with social security and medicaid and medicare? are they really serious? i assume if they ended it they would have to honor those enrolled since it is our money as well. but do they know how they are scaring the bejeesus out of seniors on little income? will it ever happen? and it is my understanding from wife numba two the gov keeps raiding it and i think i remember that but when was the last time they borrowed our money? and why are they not paying it back. i read a couple of months ago social security will dry up in thirteen years if something is not done. like why do rich people get it? these guys bringing home over a mil a year certainly do not need it so maybe that needs to stop? but then if they pay in as far as i am concerned they are owed money since they payed in. i would like to know folks thoughts on this.

Paul Ryan did not want to “ do away” with it. Working from memory he was for privatizing a portion of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
