Related: About this forumTYT: Chris Christie Wants To Destroy Senior Benefits Americans Want
Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses discusses proposed changes to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
"The collection of fat cells that have absorbed the person called Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke to a gathering of supporters in New Hampshire. He called for massive reforms to the way Social Security and other benefits for the elderly and retired are handled. Benefits for those earning more than eighty thousand dollars a year would be strictly reduced and completely eliminating benefits for those making more than two hundred thousand a year. He also called to raise the retirement age to sixty nine, an additional two years past the original age of sixty seven.
This call for reform comes during a time that it is assumed that the New Jersey Governor may soon be announcing his own Presidential Bid for the 2016 race."

Of course if everything passed on the wants of a President, the last seven years would have been great. Of course Republican presidents don't get what they want either. Bush tried this crap and was turned down.

Like I said most of what a Presidenr wants to do does not happen due to our government system.
Besides Hillary is 45. Republicans won't take the WH in 2016.
