But only on SS and Medicare. Otherwise just vague references to wasteful -- SixerHoo 03/12/2024 08:16AM
So in his 4 years in office what did he do previously to address these -- HokieJamie 03/11/2024 9:12PM
Don't be so cynical. He really IS gonna grow into the job this time ** -- Hoo TV 03/11/2024 10:30PM
Despite their need for those programs, the MAGATs will still vote for him. ** -- HowieT3 03/11/2024 9:08PM
He's gonna make them all rich like him so they won't need SS & Medicare -- Hoo TV 03/11/2024 10:17PM
Maybe encourage a vast increase in legal, -- HoosWillWin 03/11/2024 8:49PM
Rather than cutting, Biden should gradually raise the age on SS eligibility -- TomGlansAski 03/11/2024 7:14PM
Eh, just raise the maximum taxable earnings amount. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 03/11/2024 7:25PM
This is the answer. Current limit is like 165K -- WahooKid 03/11/2024 8:16PM
Right. But no one gets any additional benefit -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 8:48PM
Smaller percentage instead of pay out would work -- Quaker 03/11/2024 8:01PM
An income of 166K puts you in the top 10% of earners in the US -- WahooKid 03/11/2024 8:37PM
You must be young and/or not live in a -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 9:09PM
Boca, I'm not young (66 years) and i dont live ina high cost of living area -- WahooKid 03/11/2024 10:15PM
No one is asking you to feel sorry for them. There’s a -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 10:23PM
If youre making 200-300K a year and cant afford a house -- WahooKid 03/11/2024 10:45PM
I agree. But if you have to move to afford a house, you're not "stinking -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 10:58PM
Im sorry, but if you make more $$ than 90% of the country, you are rich -- WahooKid 03/11/2024 11:28PM
I think Boca’s point is “high income” and “rich” are not the same thin -- WahooRQ 03/12/2024 08:57AM
I think words should have meanings. When you refer to someone making -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 11:55PM
Math has meaning as well. And when you make more than 90% of the population -- WahooKid 03/12/2024 12:34AM
Well $40k puts you in the top -- BocaHoo91 03/12/2024 09:34AM
Especially given the typical incomes of retirees (link) -- Hoo TV 03/12/2024 01:38AM
Median household income in the US is $77K. A lot of people consider those -- Seattle .Hoo 03/11/2024 8:04PM
Yeah. A household making $200k -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 9:18PM
All about appearances -- Quaker 03/11/2024 8:12PM
I think this discussion illuminates that Social Security is easy to fix -- 111Balz 03/11/2024 8:16PM
Yep. Easy to fix, yet politicians wont touch it. ** -- WahooKid 03/11/2024 8:38PM
The reality is that it will be a combination of these things. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 03/11/2024 8:17PM
Likely that’s the best solution ** -- 111Balz 03/11/2024 8:33PM
Just let immigrants work and pay taxes. ** -- Lazarus 03/11/2024 7:48PM
The SS fund already depends a lot on immigrant labor and that labor is key -- Seattle .Hoo 03/11/2024 8:01PM
Maybe a little, but I don't think you want to turn SS into retirement -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 7:37PM
Social security income is taxed -- NJHoo 03/11/2024 10:04PM
Sure. Not sure how that relates to my post. ** -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 10:24PM
Social security is already progressive. Those at the lower levels have -- HooAskedYou 03/11/2024 7:59PM
This was always my preferred approach too -- CMUHoo 03/11/2024 8:52PM
That’s why I say “maybe a little”. I’m fine with -- BocaHoo91 03/11/2024 8:10PM
I agree with this. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 03/11/2024 8:00PM
