Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner wants to see it done and I agree with him it should be, since most people are living longer. I also would like to see the end to medicaid and medicare done away with and that we go to private health care, why should I have to pay for someone else's health care??? That also means all those that are having children who can't afford them and putting it on the back of other's to have to pay for it. And those lazy people that just want everything given to them for free. End Social Security now!!! Support the Republicans that are conservative...
End social security? What about the several hundred thousand I have paid in over the last 40 years? Do I lose that under your proposal?
I think people who have worked and paid in all their life SHOULD get social security and medicare coverage. I believe this was the original intent of the program. I agree with you we need to get everyone off these programs unless they have contributed or have survivor benefits. But, let's don't just end social security for all of the working people.
BTW, just curious, how long till you reach 70?
