And the hits keep on coming.

This ancient piece or crap, who has been part of the Washington elites since 1991 (25 years!), is suggesting major changes and clawbacks to Social Security. Sure, he got his. His kids will get theirs, but he's sticking it to anyone under the current age of 55. This is exactly why the American people refuse to trust their government, even though they are responsible for the #### show taking place. You think government is bad? So stop sending this ####### back to congress every election!!!
The most annoying things about these proposed plans is they don't look at how to increase revenues to the system, they only look at reducing payouts. How about changing the contribution levels? How about just removing the maximum contribution and making rich people pay their fare share. It is appalling that the guy making $1M a year pays the same contribution as the guy making $118K. The guy making $100M pays the same as the guy making $118K. Or then about trying to get more skilled people into the workforce. The higher the wages the greater the contributions. Do these things instead of cutting benefits. Most people in the US live paycheck-to-paycheck and need every cent of Social Security. This is criminal what is being proposed.
