Republicans Are, And Have Been, Attacking Social Security

[Blues Man]

Tax breaks and incentives..........period.

SO........injecting words in my response?
I never stated any ONE tax are what teabaggers claim as bankrupting a business.
TAXES in general (multiple) are what teabaggers claim are doing that.

you are so full of shit you were whining that a business has to pay the sales tax up front two pages back

 

[francoHFW]

They allowed it or well over 100 years, dumbass. We didn't have the great depression until 12 years after the Federal Reserve was created.

Only in the 1920s was buying on 10% margin a problem... It's just the usual classic GOP deregulation Let it all hang out with their business tycoon pals and families like1929, 1989, 2008 . Then there is the brainwash for the ignoramuses...

It's called pork. It's called making people pay for stuff they don't want.

Only fools believe that only the rich will pay for it.

And FYI I never was a republican or a democrat and in case you haven't noticed yet but the so called tea Party hasn't been active in the last 10 years or so

totally irrelevant, Super Duper. the Fed has helped lessen the number of recessions and depressions, but when the GOP corrupt deregulation and oversight machine get started, it takes 8 years to have a depression bubble and bust....

I think the biggest attacker on Social Security is math, or reality.

It’s a Ponzi scheme and due to fail

 

[g5000]

Biden refused to name them, but here's the names of some of the loudest ones...



Do the USMB rightwing Republican-voters agree w/this attack on social security?

What's your position on this matter?

I am 100 percent of the opinion we need to raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages to 70 and index it to 9 percent of the population going forward.

We are living DECADES longer than our ancestors. We should be working longer.

Common. Sense.

The people who are actually attacking Social Security are the people living longer and not working longer. They are a drain on the national treasury.

Only brainwashed functional morons like you don't want Cheap College and training so we can compete with the rest of the modern world which already does all this socialist stuff. taxing the rich health care day care et cetera. we are by far the richest country in the world and we can afford it for crying out loud, Super Duper.

List of recessions in the United States - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

You can see in that link that recessions and depressions were far more frequent, and much deeper, before the Federal Reserve was created.

The longest depression, actually called The Long Depression, was from October 1873 to March 1879.

Social Security History

No were not. Average Life Expectancy (ALE) is the metric that says we live DECADES longer than people from a hundred years ago. But you are using the wrong metric.

See ALE includes infant mortality rates that have plummeted. Because more infants life to adulthood, that raises the average. In addition the infants and children dying before adulthood never paid into SS.

A better metric is to look at months that benefits are drawn. The average increase (using male and females) is about 4 years longer. Not decades.

In 1935, when SS was established, only 5.4 percent of the US population was over 65.

In 1965, when Medicare was established, 9 percent of the US population was over 65.

Today, 16.9 percent of the US population is over 65.

We have a smaller and smaller percentage of Americans supporting an ever-growing percentage of retirees.

It is blazingly obvious this is an unsustainable trend.

It is way past time to raise the retirement age to 70, and index it to 9 percent of the population going forward.

"Tax the rich more" is a shiny object for you rubes. You have been hoaxed into bleeving it will solve all our problems.

We are living longer, we should be working longer.

Common. Fricking. Sense.
