Just read the entire chain of replies, I'm not nearly eligible/retired yet or disabled thankfully, don't qualify for Soc. Security or related benefits. But I'm close enough to have contributed for several decades and fully realize the Right Wing ambition of pillaging Social Security funds before my retirement.

Even if I hadn't contributed to the system across the years and didn't consider that investment to be at risk, why would watching the current GOP proposed "Attrition" policies NOT be disturbing to any sane human being.

They're scavengers of the worst sort who consider conditions of current economic instability to be an opportunity, not only to further enrich themselves at our expense but to politically smother and devastate all potential middle class opposition to their policies.

Accomplished thru theft and decimation of our legacy "Safety Net" holdings, by controlling legislation (and attendant positions of power) that could otherwise have prevented that theft.

Which is in keeping with their complete disregard for the environment, actually. They apparently could care less about generations to come, they're only interested in short term profit at the expense of the rest of us.

Again, thanks.
