1. Good Stuff!

Can we also talk about expanding Medicare to include vision, dental, and hearing? Please?

Thanks Bernie.

[calimary]

2. And that's the reason why the GOP wants this gone.

Because it actually helps people.

And Republicans don’t want to help people.

Unless those people are sufficiently well off that they really don’t need any help. THOSE folks are the ones the GOP wants to help.

[Wounded Bear]

3. repubs always want to kill the programs that work...

because it belies their "gov't is the problem" narrative. That is probably Reagan's greatest and worst legacy.

[demigoddess]

4. I thought it was because they wanted the money built up over the decades.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. As Carlin said: "Now they're coming for your social security. And they'll get it too. And give it

to their rich criminal friends on Wall Street." They will come for it in January if we lose the House.

18. Which is why WE NEED to get out and VOTE!

And convince a friend to vote also!

Heck, maybe make something fun out of it! Have a “Let’s Go Vote” get together with local pals who’d vote in the same place or district.

Anybody living near water? You could have a “Vote Boat”!

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Lots of work to do for sure! Vote Boat sounds interesting!

[calimary]

21. Could do a Vote Float, too!

That could also be for a parade!

[Evolve Dammit]

30. That's a great idea. Statue of Liberty and Lady Justice in the middle?

[calimary]

32. If you add the notion of fun, you've won!

Message sent - and joyfully received.

6. But, but, socialism...

Repubs should return their SS benefits. Be true to your ideology, bitches.

[LuckyLib]

14. How many Americans would freak if Grandma landed on their doorstep because

Soc Sec was shut down?

[Stuart G]

24. SOCIALISM...BAD WORD....WHAT KINDS OF THINGS ARE SOCIALISTIC?? GOT AN IDEA?

[GreenWave]

7. Your turn Free Market

Brag about how infinitely superior you are to Social Security and how you protect the average investor/person from predatory plutocrats.

[Hekate]

8. Paid for by our payroll taxes, lest anyone forget. The GOP tries to obscure this fact. We bought it

Those SS checks are not a gift.

[Farmer-Rick]

9. Exactly, the cost of Social Security is taken out of every single one of your paychecks

You have worked hard and long for that Social Security. You deserve it morally, socially and fiscally. It's from all our hard work, not a gift or bailout like the bankers got in 2008.

It's only what you deserve for working.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Funny how that never gets mentioned isn't it? Medicare too.

[Saboburns]

12. Social Security has made huge amounts of money for the federal government.

IMHO Social Security is the best government project this nation has ever had.

[lpbk2713]

13. Hear Hear

It's not, nor never was, an entitlement as some red assholes would have you believe.

[niyad]

22. Actually, it is. By definition, it is OUR money, we EARNED it, we are ENTITLED to it.

[housecat]

17. The only motivation the GOP ever had was stealing the money.

If there was ever any doubt, tfg showed us all how it's done.

[BComplex]
