Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner wants to see it done and I agree with him it should be, since most people are living longer. I also would like to see the end to medicaid and medicare done away with and that we go to private health care, why should I have to pay for someone else's health care??? That also means all those that are having children who can't afford them and putting it on the back of other's to have to pay for it. And those lazy people that just want everything given to them for free. End Social Security now!!! Support the Republicans that are conservative...
It's fine and good for John Boehner to want to raise the retirement age or do away with Social Security altogether since he is a member of Congress and does not participate. Most of us didn't have a choice but to have about 15% of our salary go into the system therefore I expect mine at my normal retirement age. Where the hell do you get off stating it's a free benefit? I have paid into SS 45 years and my wife paid in 40 years however she died before drawing any of it. Don't seem fair does it? As for as I'm concerned, neither party has the best interest of the country at heart. The thieves are out for personal power and self enrichment.
