Well they're both in financial danger so more is required.

Should be no Medicare. Everyone should have to purchase their insurance on the open and free market.

I'm serious about everybody paying. With the tax cuts, even with a booming economy, entitlement reform has to take place. No half measures. That means everyone pays for the "credit card " we've been living off for 40 years. Do I think they'll do it? Hell no.

I agree with you. But programs that are self sustaining, like SS and Medicare, only need tweaking, not draconian measures.

Treat old people like a horse with a broken leg , you get old and sick just take ya out back and shoot em? Lol.

Or maybe quit giving it out to people that never earned it??

We're too far in to "trim around the edges ".

 

[ImWaitingForTheDay]

That's my senator!

YOU GO Senator!!! I SALUTE you proudly, something I would not do for the current occupant of the White House.. Being from the same era as his dumbness, I know all too well the ridiculous excuses used by thousands to avoid Vietnam, sadly some of them have risen to the level of the current so-called leader of the free world... and like many of them he was too chicken smile* to serve when his country called... So Senator Duckworth you are more of a man than he will ever be!!!

It needs imploded. Just like most pension plans.take care of the people that are already on it and start a new plan for the future.

I think 65 to 70 should be teachers aides for four hours a day.

So we'll have selective service for the elderly. No one gets around it, everyone chips in, even those with adequate funds. It's a burden to society getting old and these old folks better pull their weight. The money taken out of their paychecks in the past? They were chumps to think it was actually meant for them.

I'm surprised he hasn't said something horrible like "Lucky you! You'll never know how horrible bone spurs in the foot can be!"

So 75 yr olds, 82 yr olds are going to have to work to get government assistance? So basically you want able bodied adults to get assistance without strings attached, and if they can't then no one should?

you need to study the difference between Medicaid and medicare. medicare is for the old folks.

Medicaid has been expanded under Obamacare to provide lost cost insurance for low wage earners. the argument you folks have thrown medicare into has nothing to do with working for your Medicaid.

They were chumps to think deals don't change or to trust their "paid for" elected officials that kept getting them into unfunded wars.

Ask our current president. Bad deals can be broken.

Lol. Right. They should take "Love Lessons" from the MAGA forklift at Trump rallies.

Yeah, we can start that when you retire.

[bbsam]

You can have a block grant of what you paid in over the years to help purchase your insurance.

 

[It will be fine]

I keep hoping he attacks the double amputee war hero. He attacked McCain for his service, I guess he's afraid of Tammy.
