Can We Sue For The Return Of Our Money

[Me.]

if they take away the SS and Medicare we have been paying for all of our lives...no choice?

1. Good question...

I think that if they take away SS, they should lose all their benefits as well. All perks, insurance and annual income from treasury when they leave office. And no beneficiaries either.

2. If They Take SS Away

Hell had better be raised until it's restored...and/or I want interest with the returned money.

3. What they do is make any substantive change -- like age, benefit forumula, etc. -- out in future.

That way, we supposedly wouldn't really have grounds for saying they took something away from you. I do understand that it feels like that though.

If they were to make a radical change to the SS benefits (or age) that applies to everyone, they'll use the excuse that the program will be in the red in a few years unless these changes are made.

Unfortunately, the program has been used as a political football since inception. Even current retirees aren't totally immune from big changes.

4. Mueller's investigation should be extended to Congress.

I am thinking RICO charges.
