At least we're going to get something back from what we've paid to SS, unlike what we've paid to Bush's war machine.

SS still has a trillion-dollar surplus. Perhaps you haven't read it. Yes, in 2018 SS will start cashing in some bonds, much like people will cash in their retirement accounts when they retire. Yes, by 2041 SS will be paying out more than it takes in, but there are simple fixes: Eliminate the cap on earnings subject to SS, for one. Change the way cost of living increases are indexed, for another. Raise the retirement age. Raise the contribution (all it would take is an extra 1%). None require dismantling the program.
I know it does not say there will be no SS.
And I notice you didn't quote any either.

There are no plans, period. Where is Bush's? The Republicans control Congress, where is theirs?
There are no plans. But Bush's wouldn't do anything for SS solvency (which he admits) and would require borrowing several trillion dollars.
Why hasn't the party that controls the government? Then the minority party can make a counterproposal. That's the way it usually works.
Just as I can't with the money it takes for Iraq, for farm welfare, etc. So? I don't see you all het up about that, which is far more than it takes for SS.
Oh BS. Like your employer would give you that money if it didn't have to send it in. Just like how real wages have stagnated while corporate profits and CEO salaries have ballooned.
If I had the portion that goes to Iraq, I would too.
