In reply to the discussion: John Kasich to seniors who want to keep their Social Security: “get over it” [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)74. I don't trust Hillary Clinton with my Social Security either.
If she had to choose between fighting a war and Social Security for seniors, war would be the priority. That's my opinion.
Like it or not, that's my opinion.
She does not know and will never know what it is like to live on Social Security rather than on her millions.

Instead of telling seniors to "get over it" we could raise the income cap.

If seniors can get over it, Kasich should be able to get over having his pension taken away, right?
