(17,863 posts)Greenfield should be hammering Ernst about her failure to perform her oversight duty over the executive branch. I would put together an ad showing a social security recipient couple getting a check that is 2/3rds what it is currently (that is the law after the Trust Fund runs out). Then show one with no social security check (that would be the result of the Executive Order once the Trust Fund ran out which would take about three years).

(732 posts)so that you will still owe the taxes come January. Its a trick bag. You don't prepay your taxes and get a bill in January due by April 15th, or you make the EO retroactive and destroy Social Security and Medicare. If they do this many people are not going to understand that they will still owe the taxes. I can still remember when Bush ("W" , did this with the early tax rebate. I had so many "talks" with people that its not a free check from the government, but an advance on there expected tax return, none of them understood it till they filed there taxes and gee no tax return. They believed the tax preparer, but no me when it was explained. Even if you still do not owe, because you made so little that year, you won't get that anticipated return.

(9,263 posts)democrats have to put all GOP congress people on notice with USPS and make it THEIR problem. I know our local congressperson's phone is ringing off the hook about this and we should be doing that all across america
