General Discussion

2025 was the year to focus on her "We're all going to die" debacle, but somewhere late in Trump's first term she also took heat for saying Republicans needed to go behind closed doors, away from media scrutiny, and "fix" Social Security.

And sure, they really want to do it...they just don't want to hear about it afterwards. So they think raising the retirement age is a "backdoor" that will keep the pressure off of them, until it leaks to the public, and they find out that this really IS "the third rail of politics," and if they go the distance on it, they WILL get fried for it.

It's an EARNED BENEFIT. All of the debate over SNAP and Medicaid doesn't apply here. People get SS and Medicare BECAUSE THEY PAID INTO THE SYSTEM, and yet, Republican still look down their noses as they spit out the words "ENTITLEMENT SYSTEM" with pure Ayn Rand-ian disgust.

And we all know that Rand died while receiving Social Security and Medicare benefits.
