Trump is hurting everyday Americans--almost every day now. It is unacceptable to damage lives like this; good people don't hurt others (the Good Book is very clear on this point). It's time to honestly face the question, are you voting for people who want you to live longer and healthier?
Another article arguing that Social Security entitlements must be decreased--this time, using Boomers as the trigger for readers' anger. Only in the very last paragraph does the author admit that everyone receives more from the Social Security fund than they contributed, not just Boomers. It's that little thing called compound interest?
Yes, the Social Security fund is in trouble; in no small part because Congress borrowed from the fund and never paid the money back, though, yes, the author's point about the decreased number of working adults is another key part of the problem.
Congress is arrogantly ignoring viable solutions. Solutions that won't cause American voters to throw out of office every Congressman who votes to cut Social Security by 20+%. These solutions include taxing the rich at a higher rate, and raising the SS contributions ceiling so the wealthy and the very rich pay their fair share.These solutions, however, are not popular with rich campaign donors who drop millions into re-election PACS. This 119th Congress doesn't seem to understand what every other Congress has understood: Social Security is the third rail of US politics.
