Do you need your Social Security?
Posted: Apr 14, 2017
Scarey stuff. Many of us have been disappointed in our MT careers, on hard times, not enough in savings, outsourced, unemployed, dwindling paychecks, and entering that last 10 year (or so) push....need Social Security....now this.
The defunding of Social Security disguised as a tax cut. Hope that @$2500 a year tax cut can be spun into gold!

More Trump haters scare tactics - Take your talking points and SHOVE IT
[ In Reply To ..]For the love of heaven why in the world are lefties spending time projecting the future when obviously they cannot handle the present.
Your candidate lost. Deal with the reason she lost. If you want to win next time, spend your time looking for a non-corrupt candidate. Trump is here for 4 years. Are you prepared with a viable candidate to run against him next election or are you just hoping this Trump stuff sticks and by default Dems win. Not going to happen. Enter reality. Trump won because he was anti-politics as usual - crooked politicians taking bribes. You need to find a Trump-type Democrat.
Dems ARE preparing...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]and working very hard to start taking back Congress during the next round of congressional elections, and we are working towards finding the best candidate to run against Trump in 2020. So, do you think we are supposed to sit on our rumps and just accept things as they are. Well, we DON'T have to and we WON'T. It is called remaining politically engaged and that's how our democracy works. The Pubs didn't like Obama and/or the democratic candidate, so Trump won, barely. Now we don't like the Pubs or the sitting president, so we'll work to put our party back in power. That's how it works. Dont' you get it?
I get lelfties spewing garbage about Trump is not going - to put Dems in power.
[ In Reply To ..]We republicans who voted for Trump were anti-CORRUPTION in the political system. You know, politicians who take bribes (contributions) to vote in favor of special interests. Trump financed his campaign. He owes nothing to anyone except the people who voted for him.
As far as any other politician who chooses to run against Trump, they better have a stockpile of cash on hand so the public knows they are not going to owe special interests anything.
Working to put your party in does not mean spending time creating fake news against Trump including but not limited to his son-in-law's clothing.
Sorry but until those tax returns come out - I am assuming he owes Russia
[ In Reply To ..]The only reason I see for him not to put them out is that very one. His own son stated: “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” That is a direct quote.
Since Russia obviously had some effect on our election, to state categorically he owes nothing to anyone except the people who voted for him, well, I don't buy it and I don't care if the Dems or Pubs are in power, I just want to know.
How can you not want to know? It is the ULTIMATE corruption if Russia is found out to have been backing Trump financially AND with their tricks with their hackers. No thank you.
Russian money is said to have bailed him out in 2008 - he can't have paid it all back yet
[ In Reply To ..]We know he owes Deutsche Bank, probably the Russians too and just doesn't want US to know how much. Somebody really needs to buckle down and hack those tax returns.
Surely lefties are desperate. Now we are - back to the Russian connection
[ In Reply To ..]Laughable at the desperation of left losers.
How is this "Trump scare tactics?" Republicans - have wanted to eliminate
[ In Reply To ..]for a long time and not quiet about it. They want us all to "invest" our money instead of paying social security. Personally, I want my social security along with what I save. People that think the republicans will do anything more than take from you and give to the wealthy are just simply naive. If you think Trump is any better than any of those politicians, you better think again. He is a conman and nothing more. I do not like all of the democratic ways but I certainly don't like any of the republican ways.
No they don't. They just want to let people decide if they - want to get their own Social
[ In Reply To ..]Security money and invest it themselves. Stop with the scare tactics. I would rather decide what to do with my money than have the govt do it for me.
I guess this is how the left get votes, but scaring people.
What money??? - Statistics
[ In Reply To ..]Below are median stats for everyone. Most everything has gone up significantly and, maybe gas has come down, but still too high. MT has crashed, so most of us have no money to invest unless you have a sugar daddy. Is it fair that just because a few have means that a perfectly well-funded system should be destroyed?
trump - and his trumpees
[ In Reply To ..]You need to get a brain. Hillary won the popular vote, Trump and Putin stole the whole thing. We have the 2018 elections to get rid of all the cheeto people in office and let the good, decent dems take their place. It won't last until 2020 for sure.
Do left Trump bashers have a family, hobby - any other outlet than posting here?
[ In Reply To ..]Empty time, empty mind, obsessed with Trump.
How about you? Do you have a hobby, family? - Funny how you respond
[ In Reply To ..]to every post by telling use we don't have a life.
What is wrong with you? - That is not what the post was about
[ In Reply To ..]the post was about Trump plan to gut Social Security, nothing about who won or lost. We are the ones who lost, especially if we are planning on Social Security for our "golden years." LOL
I bet your MTSO LOVES you...so willing to take - The inevitable
[ In Reply To ..]Some of us will continue to make decisions to affect our lives and society even with the WORST in charge. We will continue to gnaw at the edges of his policies and propose alternative legislation to save the planet. The article is posted to point out that it IS HAPPENING so that something can be done.
I bet you are part of that group watching MT slowly circle the drain...you probably envy Trump's bravado and think he "cares" about you!
I am picturing a person gnawing at the edges - and reminded of a rodent. Oh well
[ In Reply To ..]Oh well, whatever keeps you going.
I do not admire Trump. I am waiting to see what he achieves.
Death and destruction? - Nm
[ In Reply To ..]Oooo
Death and destruction of ISIS. - Go Trump.
[ In Reply To ..]I think that is one of his campaign promises.

Are We Going To Keep Social Security Or Abandon It?Sep 22, 2012
Social Security is a progressive entitlement program created by Republicans and Democrats working together. Those conservatives ideologically opposed have always tried to get rid of it, but voters wouldn't let them because it has always served its purpose of protecting us from the possibility of destitution when we're too old to work. Now their tactic of destroying it by delaying necessary adjustments has successfully brought Social Security to the point of failure. Like a home ...
