So my message to Senator McCain is this - Social Security privatization is a bad idea whose time has come and gone, and the American people rejected the Bush privatization plan in 2005 and the American people will reject the Bush-McCain privatization plan in 2008.

It's in the same link above.

Wow. Sounds kinda nice. Doesn't mean anything. salib May 2015 #19

So, what SPECIFICALLY does she propose to do about the S.S. funding gap? progree May 2015 #20

Privatization, maybe? She seems to be avoiding that third-rail. Not particularly courageous. NYC_SKP May 2015 #21

nope KMOD May 2015 #22

So what SPECIFICALLY is she proposing to do to close the funding gap? (please see #20) nt progree May 2015 #25

Reagan era tax rates? You mean BEFORE he cut the top bracket to 28% (I hope) nt progree May 2015 #23

Reagan top tax rates AND effective tax rates, highest ever: NYC_SKP May 2015 #29

sorry, was getting info for you. KMOD May 2015 #31

Good. So that's raising the cap, with a gap. Good. (Note the rhyme) progree May 2015 #32

I do like the rhyme. KMOD May 2015 #33

Eh... kenfrequed May 2015 #35

I agree. But this seems to be about as progressive as it gets, even Bernie Sanders is for the gap progree May 2015 #37

Well I disagree with him on this one. kenfrequed May 2015 #41

We'll soon (perhaps) get more clarity on Hillary's position on the retirement age and the cap progree May 2015 #48

Bernie Sanders is for the gap in this one from March 2015 progree May 2015 #39

Oops - looks like she walked away from raising the cap? progree May 2015 #47

Oh Crap! Hillary Clinton favored raising the retirement age??? NYC_SKP May 2015 #50

Do you mean "raising the maximum wage cap" in your title? progree May 2015 #51

"Clinton supported following the advice of a bipartisan commission that favored raising..." NYC_SKP May 2015 #54

I will have to look more into it, but my quick reaction is I don't disagree with your last sentence progree May 2015 #57

Well, except I don't agree with your "inference" about raising the retirement age progree May 2015 #60

This should be posted as an OP. If you don't want to, I'll do it. cali May 2015 #58
