your post claimed that he questioned if it should
be mandatory. that’s not the same as aging maybe it should be voluntary?

SS is already not mandatory, at least for people
who donate big money to democrats who then reward their donors by carving them out of SS. Nice spot to be in, get a cadillac pension instead of a crappy SS benefit.

SS is an awful, awful program. it’s literally a ponzi scheme. Why should
we stick without forever? why not try and see if there’s a better option? like the teacher pensions, which give teachers $75k a year starting at age 59.5? wouldn’t it be great if everyone had that, instead of just teachers?

this is a complete waste.

Yes this is a complete waste because you have no common sense. He's talking about if the program should be continued and if it should be mandatory spending and not discretionary. I e he's saying let's review the program and see if we should cancel it or lower the benefits. You asked who wants to gut Social Security and I showed you numerous Republicans want to.

where did he say lower the benefits? and to whom?

i have news for you, benefits are going to have to be reduced for the wealthy. the program can’t afford it.

if you cut benefits to multi millionaires is that gutting the program? or is that making it more viable?

he’s a republican, so therefore it must be sinister. no other possibility. right? he must mean that poor people
should have to eat cat food.

You asked right? I told you. And what do you? You start with your usual insults.

Here is your first insult "You want to see a lying fear monger? Look in the mirror." That is why (or I should say 1 reason) I think you are a scum bag.

I asked where he talked about cutting benefits, which you claimed he did. I don't see it.

Have a good weekend.
