Right now, President Obama and Congress are considering a deal to pay the nation's bills that could cut the Social Security and Medicare benefits seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work.

Absolutely!
I see the current electorate changing things in monumental ways!! /s
“Obama BOUGHT AARP to get their endorsement. They are as evil as he is.”
I like the plain and honest talk from freepers.
Thanks.
Obama and crew love this. Pit the young against the old, the “poor” against the “rich”, black against white, and on and on.
We’re seniors and still working. I’ve tried to always vote conservative, but the Republican Party has gone further left, and the Democrat Party is corrupt Socialist through and through. You’re mistaken.
I, too, dumped AARP a long time ago when I discovered what a bunch of leftists they are. Even told them why I wasn’t renewing.
I still get their “stuff” with no conrtibution.
Xer Ping
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Your post troubles me.
This is not generational warfare.
It is government mismanagement..plain and simple.
I hear about cuts to social security and medicare constantly.
Has anyone heard even one word about cutting welfare benefits? subsidized housing? healthcare for illegals? food stamps?
AARP got in bed with SEIU over Obamacare and lost a lot of their members. They also lied to Seniors because of insurance dollar signs.
Nope. Not a peep about welfare, subsidized housing, illegals’ welfare, food stamps.
I’m willing to do my part to help solve this mess. I’ll pay my own medical bills. We’re still working at 68 & 65.
Yes the Republicans are stupid.
I would like to see both programs phased out
But from a political stand point SS and Medicare should be last, not 1st on the chopping block
Cut Obama's Czars, cut foreign aid, cut medicaid and welfare, cut Farm subsidies, The environment and education are no longer the third rails they once were so you can target the NEA and EPA also.
How can you tell a senior you are cutting their social security but we are still going to give James Hansen billions for his global warming nonsense or billions to Archer Daniels Midland.
Make Obama defend those
After the government is stripped down, then go for SS & medicare.
Thanks for the link. I posted a little note on their site.
“AARP lost me when you got in bed to support Obamacare not disclosing how you stood to benefit hugely from its passage. I ardently oppose your fleecing of seniors. Ryan’s plan is the only hope to save Medicare and Medicaid. The numbers are irrefutable that if we continue on the current course they will be bankrupt in less than a decade. Quit your scaremongering of seniors, AARP - it is contemptible”.
Very well stated.
I don’t think SS or Medicare or Obamacare should have ever been instituted at all. But they were.
A reform is due...at the proper time.
Who voted these thieves in time after time after time?
I knew SS was RAPED 20 years ago, and I won’t get a dime, at 57.
” Has anyone heard even one word about cutting welfare benefits? subsidized housing? healthcare for illegals? food stamps? “
Increasing exponentialy every year. Obama wins, America, as we used to know it, dies.
Just tellin it like it are for 10 years on FR ;-)
Does the AARP hate our children and grandchildren?
My question to you is this...do you vote?
Have you voted in the “last 20 years”?
Just curious.
It's amusing yet sad to watch conservatives in a frenzy to defend government-run wealth redistribution and government-run health care.
Will that "proper time" come before or after today's "seniors" have mugged each other's children and grandchildren?
Too bad that the AARP engaged in man-hating and misogamy (family-hating) at least nearly two decades ago.
