[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that lawmakers will ultimately face tough choices on spending in next year’s unified GOP government, suggesting cuts may be coming to social welfare programs

We’re going to have to have some hard decisions. We got to bring the Democrats in to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There’s hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, and we know how to do it, we just have to have the stomach to actually take those challenges on,” McCormick told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo[/quote]

This will be fun to watch because at the same time congressional republicans are cutting these benefits they will be giving tax breaks the rich. You know they will also go after the VA and veterans’ disability. [/quote]

Benefit cuts are already written in to Social Security, according to the trustees' report.  It is spending more money on benefits than money coming in.[/quote]

But for the boomers' main working years there was a major excess of money coming in which Reagan and the Bushes squandered on government spending when they could have kept it in the Social Security Trust Fund.[/quote]

This x billions[/quote]

Yes, they squandered it on corporate tax cuts, capital gains tax cuts, and the military industrial complex including two unfunded wars. Oh well. Elections have consequences. Pull yourself by your bootstraps folks. That's what we do in America![/quote]
