(62,325 posts)they've successfully been doing it in third world countries for decades, centuries really. We actually probably held out longer than most being that the country was founded with warnings against this very real threat to any democracy.
It is the fault of the people who will excuse any rotten policy their party pushes, on both sides and until a majority of the people are willing to take a stand and start working towards removing the money from our system, there really is little hope of turning back the clock on what has been going on, apparently successfully.
When we have Democrats willing to cut SS, we know they have been successful. This really is a first and should be resisted strenuously.
SS had zero to do with the Deficit and the attempts to try to convince us that it did, the incoherent arguments to try to match their actions to what they are claiming they are worried about, the Deficit, is simply sickening to most thinking human beings.
