4. Evidence they'll "wreck it"? Of course not. This is creative speculation.

As a recipient of SS, I am very fed up with threads that fearmonger.

We ALL know what motivates the "libertarian" right in wanting to get rid of SS. The billionaires and right-wing corporations don't want to pay FICA. Notice they don't even talk about "solvency" anymore. It was all bullshit.

Anyway, I am tired of these threads saying we aren't going to have Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It is not healthy to post these creative speculation threads, and it sure as hell not healthy to read them.
