(Thanks to Lindsey Graham) Bad News For Social Security and Medicare

The Crux ^ | July 10, 2015 | Michael Ford

The 2016 presidential race is heating up, and politicians are already talking about the subject of “Social Security reform…”

But don’t be fooled – this seemingly innocuous phrase hides the true intention of this political rhetoric: Social Security cuts.

For example, Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, who is pegged to run for the republican ticket, recently told a reporter:

“I’m going to ask [people] to give up a little bit to make sure the system doesn’t fail… If we don’t, the baby boomers are going to wipe out Social Security and Medicare. We’ll become Greece.”

Graham has been proposing cuts to Social Security for at least a decade.

[Din Maker]

Well, when you know you're going to get a big pension and free medical care for the rest of your life, like Congressmen and Senators do, hell yeah...... Screw with other people's Social Security and Medicare

[Jim Robinson]

Linda Graham is Hillary without her balls.

[kabar]

Based on the data, there will be no COLA increase for SS in 2016.

[SkyDancer]

Quit paying illegal-American Democrat voters first. Then quit using SS to fund other projects.

[Regulator]

Gee...it’s gonna run out, now that we paid into it all our lives

How interesting, Linda

Now if you hadn’t offshored all the high paying jobs to China, maybe the programs funded by those jobs would still be around

Funny how McJobs don’t fund much of anything, isn’t it?

Guess you didn’t think of that when you were hawking the Fwee Twade agenda.

So Linda...how ‘bout supporting high value added jobs in the U.S. again? Then we might not be having this little conversation...which can, and should, cost you your job, you smarmy little peckerwood

[exnavy]

Just open up that lock box and give me back what I payed, we’ll call it even.

[T-Bird45]

Grahamnesty: “...give up a little bit...”

You first, Linda. My age group has already given up two years of eligibility for full S/S and that happened over 30 years ago to “save S/S.” What are YOU going to do TODAY that does not exempt Congress, you twit??

[freeangel]

I second that idea!

[dragnet2]

Whoops, they spent 2 trillion running around conducting compassionate wars for 10 years...Tens of hundreds of billions spent on illegal alien prizes, healthcare and gifts.

Now they suggest the American elderly pay for it?

I guess the government and these career politicians are just holding off strafing Americans.

[mrsmith]

The law requires 25% cuts when the fund runs out- which will be even sooner than projected because of the increase for sex perverts.

So, yeah, there’ll be cuts and probably more than that to squeeze out more welfare.

[TomGuy]

“I’m going to ask [people] to give up a little bit to make sure the system doesn’t fail…

Yeah, right.

So how much of a cut are you going to take in your salary, Gramnesty?

[haircutter]

Graham says...’baby boomers’ are going to destroy Social Security....LMAO...

TRY Hussein's FREEBIES HE HANDS OUT...AND ALL THE ILLEGALS GETTING SS. WAKE UP VOTERS...THESE PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS ARE ALL BRAIN DEAD...

[oh8eleven]

the baby boomers are going to wipe out Social Security and Medicare.
Hey - all we did was go along with the programs the Dems set up decades ago.
And it's the same people - Dems - who have expanded the programs not to mention cutting gov't support by billions (Øbama).

[kingu]

Yep, my reply to the senator is: YOU FIRST. And not just you, end spousal payments as well for senators and congressmen who ‘retire.’ You want a retirement plan? Use that really big salary and BUY ONE.

Not sure where you are getting your data, but the SSA.GOV website shows possible COLA estimates as:

1.4% to 3.0% for 2016
1.5% to 3.4% for 2017

[right way right]

Jim Thompson knows about us!

[TomGuy]

Obama wasted $2.1 BILLION on the Obamacare website.

The State Department misplaced {snicker} $6 Billion while Hillary was in charge.

Gramnesty, clean up your own ‘house’ [a.k.a., Washington] first.

The amount of governmental vice and corruption would more than pay for Social Security for decades.

Heck, just remove the illegals and dead people who are getting SS checks and you could extend SS for several years.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Any “republican” who mouths the words of Socialism is not conservative... nor distinguishable from the other party.

You might as well vote for either party or neither.

I won’t be voting for a socialist from either party.

[poobear]

They sure loved us Boomers when we were paying more into the system than any other Generation during the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s!
NOW we’re breaking the system! Eff em!!!
