Doesn't this include Social Security and Medicare? Ya know, the same SS and Medicare that literally all of us look forward to collecting when we get older?

Newsflash: the republicans want to slash *that* part of the social safety net as well. We have to stop them. All of us...even the yuppies...will need SS and Medicare when we get older. All of us.

Don't let the republicans screw you, your parents, and your kids out of the programs that work. We paid into them, and we should get to collect. [/quote]
