#SocialSecurityReform.... Long overdue.... As always, I STAND ON #PRINCIPLES NOT PERSONALITIES of those involved... Been calling for #Entitlement (real #Entitlements, things we pay into, and #ENTITLED to receive back from) #Reform for Decades...
@JStudd1 posted about "#SocialSecurity Reform: First, Kill All the #RINOs!" in US-POLITICS Community ( https://retalk.com/c/us-politics/social-security-reform-first-kill-all-the-rinos ) over on RETALK #SocialMedia.... The discussion needs be here also.
#PrinciplesNotPersonalities, been calling for REFORM for Decades....
I am now, as always, consistent!!!!
Well, DEFINE "CUTS???"
Tired of the usual GOP WANTS TO CUT EVERYTHING bullshit narratives.
Reductions in Growth, are NOT CUTS. Hell, A FREEZE, is NOT A CUT, it is just not the usual bullshit Baseline-Budgeting* games/gimmicks/HORSESHIT.
If that means "Means testing" count me in!
Raising the Retirement age some, we've known for DECADES would have to happen (as long as it is done VERY SLOWLY OVER TIME (say add 1/mo a month for the next couple Decades gradually raising so people have plenty of ability to adjust COUNT ME IN))...
And anyone can check my 4 DECADES of Christian Constitutionalist Conservative Activism (I go on Record IN PRINT, not wobble verbally for current political expedience, been writing on my own websites, on/for RedState, now at TheLibertyBeacon and BeforeItsNews, don't wobble/waffle for expedience of any given moment) am as ANTI-TAX INCREASE as they come ( check many of my recent writings calling for TAX CUTS https://tinyurl.com/JLDArticles ), this would be ONE EXCEPTION that I'd be willing to make BUT ONLY to raise both the SS and MediCare FICA portions by one-tenth of one-percent and for upping the CAP by a one-time 100k jump (then return to continued/normal adjustment levels going forward).
So, just cuz you drop Mitt RINOmney's name
doesn't mean I'm automatically going to FREAK OUT and say NO!!!
I will EXAMINE with LOGIC and REASONED THOUGHT, not have a knee-jerk Emotionally Hysterical reaction.
We need to see a CONCRETE FINAL DETAILS BILL,
THEN, only THEN, will I take a FINAL POSITION!!
AND YES I HAVE BEEN FOR CHOICE - PARTIAL PRIVATIZATION, allowing PEOPLE TO CHOOSE if some (not all, and formulas would adjust based on such if they blow it their Safety-net virtually evaporates, as would their 401-K if idiotly invested, but portions of SS Tax would still need to feed in part the overall System via the current method) of their SS is Privately Invested!!!

ALSO SEE MY "Mandated Health-Care coverage -How about some other Mandates? Welfare Warranty? College Coverage? [update: Unemployment Underwriting]" piece (back during the obaMAOcare debates)...
Welfare IS NOT an Entitlement, there is NO Welfare Tax we pay in like Social-Security or MediCare so YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THEM, if we are going to have/continue A WELFARE STATE then it is time to OFFICIALLY MAKE THEM ENTITLEMENTS (you want them, YOU PAY INTO/FOR THEM)....
