In reply to the discussion: Here it comes. Bigly social security cuts [View all]Lemon722
(2 posts)Now I know lots of GOP voters and each and every single one of them is living a pretty good life in retirement cashing their Social Security, complaining there is no yearly increase and they will use every last thing Medicare affords them and will push the envelope for benefits that might not be covered. So they vote GOP. WHY? GOP has opposed these programs since the day they were suggested and I remember my father a farmer not being included until LBJ's time -- and to be honest my parents would not have enjoyed their retirement at all or most likely couldn't afford TO retire. My mother never worked outside the home but when my father died her modest SS was bumped up to his rate and at 96 she has been able to live on her own not lavishly but in comfort without her children supporting her, putting her in a home but instead living in her own apartment. In a way I want GOP to at least try and perhaps the media will actually report facts and wake enough of these idiots up.
