    Do people in any of the worlds poorest countries have to pay $2,500 plus per month to rent a two bedroom apartment, like people in New York and Boston or San Francisco do??

    We have discussed this before, SS and MC shouldn't even be part of the federal budget.
    Thoes are monies that individuals pay in.
    It's their money and should be entirely separate from the national budget.

    Yeah. I'm not arguing that. We agree both dems and reps both spend too much, what we need is a conservative instead of liberals. It's been many decades since we have had a conservative, if we've ever had one.

    I don't know what Republicans are saying, I'm saying what i think on the issue.
    While waiting for you to list names of Republicans who want the elderly to work til they die and the time and place they said so.

    You're right, we let them live alone until they can't take care of them anymore then we stick them in institutions we call "retirement homes"

    Wrong on all counts!

    When you OWE money it is NOT "your money" because you OWE it to some other entity or person.

    The Republicans have had ample opportunities to make these changes and have even ATTEMPTED to do so.

    WHY NOT?

    What was stopping them when they CONTROLLED both houses of Congress AND the Whitehouse?

    Tax funds are FUNGIBLE and you don't get to DEMAND that it "belongs" to anyone.

    His excuse is going to be that there are no "real conservatives" in the Repub party. Basically he's going to say everyone is congress is liberal. Or something close to that.

    Bush and Trump are conservatives, Conservatives just spend more on war and tax cuts for the rich than social spending than the left does

    I think right now we need a little nation building here at home

    That old RINO crap is wearing thin given how many asshats like Steve King and Moscow Mitch infest Congress these days.

    benefits should never be reduced, the age should not of been raised, we should of raised the cap on the rich to cover the baby boomers, cause you and I both know once that passes, the age will never go back down

    Again, we haven't had conservatives in power for many many decades, there have been none in my lifetime.

    Yep. Since they control rent in those liberal hell holes, there are no rentals available. Retirees would be living on the street studying the current poop maps or updating them to include their latest movement.

    Complete and utter nonsense!

    You don't get to redefine terminology to suit yourself.

    The meaning of conservative hasn't changed.

    While I tend to agree with you with respect to SS - the Gov't has been stealing money from SS for decades. Had it not done so we would have the funding problem we do now.

    We need a flat tax that everyone pays together with no exemptions for rich or poor

    In order to eliminate the National Debt we should go back to the Ike levels of taxation until it is paid off entirely.

    I would support raising taxes across the board if liberals will cut spending across the board by an equal amount
