(76,714 posts)Cutting Social Security should be a killer for any candidate and McConnell is doing this
during an election year? BTW KY has an older population too.

(36,631 posts)He and his fellow looters repeatedly try to raid Social Security while lying to everyone about its effect on the budget.
If he had his way, the only budget items for the Federal government would be his pay and health care.

Anyone voting for him ARE stupid.

(11,885 posts)They are flaunting their election fixing openly now without any hesitation. Cutting these programs with all health care plans , and safety nets while they continue paying lower and lower taxes, some none shows their contempt for the rest of us now. The GOP supporters will be hurt the most , which by the time they realize it, it'll be too late.
