He can’t be secure in his masculinity if he has to ask his wife to get plain towels. If he want one, all he has to do is go buy it. Why would she have to be involved?
If you really believe that they would let Social Security actually sunset without re-instating it first, you have been truly misled as to who they are. To let social security payments actually stop would not only be political suicide, but physical suicide as well. They would not only be voted out but would never be able to return to their home. They don’t want to stop them, they want to fix them before it is too late.
They want to sunset them so that congress will be forced to rewrite them in a way that will keep them solvent. But of course Democrats would rather use that for political means rather than help fix the problem. You can only keep kicking the can down the road for so long before it goes into the ditch. Reagan said: “The social security system must be preserved. And rescuing the system has meant reexamining its original intent, purposes, and practical limits.”
Interesting. I’m 68 years old and have been hearing Democrats say that Republicans want to do away with Social Security my whole life. I have kept up with politics for at least my last 50 years and have yet to meet or hear a Republican say they wanted to terminate Social Security. I have begun to think that this is purely a tactic to scare our older citizens. I’m sure Republicans have also paid into the fund and would also like to receive their portion. The truth is that if our representatives don’t make some adjustments to it soon, it will go bankrupt. Problem is that every time a representative brings this up, they are immediately accused of trying to destroy it.
You say "So what?’ The problem is that our presidents are no longer leaders that guide congress. They now want to rule by executive order. They were never supposed to have that much power. Congress continues to give away their authority to government workers.
