In other words here come the Social Security, SSI, Medicare and Medicaid cuts…

re: #70 Decatur Deb

Feature bug.

They are playing with dynamite if they go after all three.

Their strongest voting base, the elderly, will fight them big-le’ and they can’t afford that voting wise.

So, they will most likely try to start at some lower age (anyone say, 50 right at the time the cuts start) and try to sell it as “you need to be saving for your own retirement in the private market…look how successful it is, so much better than the government running it.”

But Social Security is Social Security, and even the elders might balk at any change at all. They will be looking to their kids and grandkids futures.

It will be much the same with Medicare. Elders will say “Do Not Touch” and might try to protect that too for the future.

Medicaid might be their best hope, but even that has is now being expanded in red states. So…

Good luck GOP.
