I don’t know what medicare is, but I wouldn’t vote to SUDDENLY end SS for any reason, I would vote for reform, or for a reasonable way to eventually eliminate it, in fact, that does help guide my voting.

To say that a person should pay into SS for 50 years and then at age 65, when they are old and worn out, that they must refuse their SS to be principled, is ridiculous.

If one is wealthy they can indulge whatever whim they want, but it would be irrational for none wealthy and poor conservatives to make that the routine conservative protest for their last years.

I’m against the pay and retirement structure of the military, I am a vet, but I don’t expect vets and active duty to martyr themselves in a weird, pathetic gesture that doesn’t even make sense.

I stand by what I said. Get rid of all of it at once. My total income including SS is barely. I have enough savings to live minimally for a year, maybe. It is far better to get rid of it all. Myself, well I will have a very hard time for a time but the economy would pick up so damned fast with that weight (and entitlements of all sorts) gone and 90% of the business regulations gone and the government ruled insurance gone that all of us would be better off in a year than we could be any other way short of finding a pots gold in our back yards. Medicine would be affordable on one's income when one is not and has not been paying hordes of bureaucrats' livings both private and government (not to mention all the requried ER freebies for illegals and welfare colds and sniffles.

And besides, we have no right to that SS money or that Medicare/caid insurance. The USSC has said so. The government can take it all away when it chooses to and at some point it will choose to. Better now rather than later with no plan, just bankruptcy.
