The tax bill fundementally puts at risk the  programs that keep a large % of Americans from eating cat food in retirement. The only demagogue here is you. Why would you propose policies that speed up the downfall of programs paid-in by working Americans? Those are not entitlements; it’s MY money.

For you, “entitlement reform” means kicking people off. Me? I advocate to raise the Social Secuity cap and peg it to inflation.

No.  Social Security and Medicare are fundamentally at risk because they are Ponzi schemes.  The tax law doesn't change any of that.  You pay money into a system that spends it immediately, but you are promised future returns.  No money is invested in real assets to pay back those promises.  I'm sure Bernie Madoff's victims want "their" money back too, but it's just not happening.  The best that can occur is an orderly winddown.  I expect need-based testing.  I suggest you "donut hole" families stop whining and start saving.[/quote]
