For all the years that he has been in charge, he has never put forward a MEANINGFUL proposal. He is all bluff and bluster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-34273878746695255362016-09-18T01:04:47.893-04:002016-09-18T01:04:47.893-04:00As hare-brained as it sounds, it seems they want t...As hare-brained as it sounds, it seems they want to convince people that they should not expect to get Social Security or that it should slashed. If they ever succeeded they could cut the program without committing political suicide or so they think. Only problem is that the American people love their Social Security and hate congress. They are much more likely to vote out any congressperson stupid enough to try and cut Social Security than to accept their current snake oil sales pitch.

The military isn't funded past the end of this fiscal year, yet no one is moaning about that. Everyone understands military funding is best described "where there is a will, there's a way".<br />For that matter, no other agency or private sector corporation is funded 75 years into the future. <br />SSA is right on target with projections. In 1983, us baby boomers started paying more FICA taxes, to provide for our social security retirement. The 1983 legislation, which passed with the full approval of Pres. Reagan, was intended to fully fund for 30 years -- and it did. <br />Here we are, 33 years later. An uptick in employment and, dare I say it, immigrant workers, would go a long way towards filling trust fund coffers. That, with a few adjustments in taxes, would solve the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
