This is a "debate" between three well-informed people and one uninformed ideologue who sticks to talking points.
The system is flawed, that's the bottom line. The problem is no one wants to address how to fix it. There isn't a "simple fix" that's going to magically make it all better, but any attempt to revamp the system or make changes gets you labeled as a racist or someone that hates poor or disabled people. That's not helping anyone.
ReplyDeleteThe uninformed idealogue is also a member of the Social Security Advisory Board.
