Keep in mind, the fuckers have been trying to get rid of Social Security since 1936.

They've been trying to get rid of Medicare since 1965.

They're called Republicans.

6. RIGHT, Peg, but we've got to figure out HOW to do so,

like by UNDERSTANDing the grievance(s) of the large size of the aggrieved electorate. It's SERIOUS, and Dems like Pete should play a MAJOR role in doing so.

You're right, of course. Pete would be a great choice for voicing what's needed.

I think trump MIGHT get away with raising normal retirement age for those 50 and under a bit, while keeping 62 as age one can start SS. But not much else. There are lots of GOPers on SS. But, I didn’t think trump would win 2 elections either.

Plus, mid-terms are coming up.

Never wise to minimize the threat.

Over-confidence is foolish. Case in point is recent election.

12. Great point, 3Hotdogs. After 88 years, the GOP finally see their chance to roll back FDR's programs.
