That was a good article even being written by repubs (I say that only because repubs have wanted to cut benefits, not a dig). I’ll only say it’s difficult to have benefits when we’re spending $855b on a damn defense budget.

I will say I don’t really care whether SS benefits are there when I retire or not, I don‘t need them at all, I’m more concerned with other social benefits, Medicaid, food stamps, etc.

Off subject, but to do with defense spending- this country breeds, raises, and trains canine warriors, but when they retire they get absolutely zero benefits, vet bills? Paid by whoever adopts them, food bill? Same thing, PTSD therapy? Paid by the adopter, that’s a damn travesty by both parties and disgusting, but shouldn’t be surprised because this country doesn’t take care of human vets and most people view dogs as less than
