(4,847 posts)Yes, I'm also concerned about privatizing SS. Just what we need is WS to get more of our money to screw with. Also, before little boot's big pharma giveaway, medicare had the ability to arbitrate with pharma for reasonable prices. Now, it's a windfall for insurance companies, big pharma and the medical industry.
The repugs also want to privatize the VA. A corporation's only goal is to make profits, and they'll do it anyway they can; screwing their employees, cutting services, cutting care.
The reason why some of the state pension plans are in trouble, is not because those damn retired workers are making too much; but because some repug politicians, especially in florida and ohio took that money and invested it in companies like enron (and WTF old coins in ohio?). Actually, I think some of those cretins were funneling pension monies into repug coffers when little boot's and his band of greedy pals were in office.
Just think what they'd do with your SS money if they gave it to their friends on WS.
