Republican Joni Ernst Wants To Gut Social Security, But Only Behind Closed Doors

[skews13]

Republicans are always looking for the silver lining in the deficits they continually create with their corporate and fat-cat tax cuts, and that silver lining is always gutting Social Security. Always. Here's Ernst in the town hall meeting:

"There is a point in time when we as Congress will have to address the situation."

To be clear, “the situation” is the deficit she voted for.

"And I think it's better done sooner rather than later, to make sure that we've shored up that system." Shoring up the system meaning what it always does in Republican speak: taking retirees’ money out of the guaranteed Social Security system and putting it in the Wall Street casino.

Hey Iowa. You let Trump bankrupt your farmers. Are you going to let Senate Republicans take your retirement savings to?

Social Security is a pyramid scheme.

Daily Kos? Don't you have a link to a legit news source? That site is a bunch of propaganda.

I want the millennials to pay a couple per cent more out of their paychecks and raise the age a few years also. I know you agree. Just one of the tax increases we will be getting. The Fram oil filter commercials from a few decades ago are coming true. They even lied back then about the tax increases as they were not enough.

You could click the link in the article to the Washington Post story, where she was actually quoted at a townhall meeting, but having encountered you here a couple of times, I know you are way to fucking stupid to do that, and probably wouldnt take an exact quote from the source as true anyway.

Haven't you got some trolling to do elsewhere?

Who the hell is Joan McCarter and why do crazy lefties hang their hats on opinions by people who could be foreign agents or high school kids?

Try gutting one of the most popular programs enjoyed by tens of millions of people every year. Political suicide. Isn't going to happen. It's all that millions of hard working Americans have upon retirement.

Social security would be quite solvent if all the people who never paid and don't pay a cent were removed from the rolls.

Once I see Daily Kos, I close it, I don't read it, don't care. Maybe if you weren't a trolling moron you would have linked the Washington Post story to begin with? Now if you got a real link, we could look at it instead of leftwing propaganda site.

Your link:

"Sen. Joni Ernst is running for re-election in 2020. She is a Republican, but she will be doing her best to convince Iowa voters that she's not one of those radical kinds of Republicans, the type that is dangerous to their future.

"And boy howdy, did she just mess that plan up royally.

"The not-extremist-at-all Ernst told a town hall meeting that she wants lawmakers to 'fix' Social Security 'behind closed doors.'"

Surely, Iowa deserves better than a corporate, swamp dweller like Joni?

What does fix mean? Like keep it solvent? Eliminate it? Let us opt out?

What is the fix you're so upset about.

Fix as in subject unearned income to FICA taxes or fix as in gamble the money on Wall Street?

Whatever definition we disagree about, maybe we can agree the fix should not take place behind closed doors?

"'So it's, you know, a broader discussion for another day,' she added. 'But I do think, as various parties and members of Congress, we need to sit down behind closed doors so we're not being scrutinized by this group or the other, and just have an open and honest conversation about what are some of the ideas that we have for maintaining Social Security in the future.'"

Social Security, the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world.

Well you’re the one going all postal over it when you don’t even know what her plan is.

Best solution would be removing the wage cap and reducing fraud.

So basically, if there is some information and you see it's from someone that you are not interested in, you ignore it truthful or not?

There is a video of her saying exactly what they claim in the article.

Quit getting your senses so offended over words and educate your self outside of your built in little cocoon.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

It should always have been an opt in or out program. Basically, its a ponzi scheme though.

I am ok with removing the wage cap as long as they remove the benefit cap as well. It is already skewed to screw married folks who have maxed out their social security but are unable to collect what they are owed because of the beneift cap.
