Can we put this one to rest? Social Security hurts younger families
Advertisements [?]
You are beginning to hear it from the right, that seniors are taking money from younger families. yadda yadda yadda.

Can we get a heads up on this for younger families of working class and middle class which is by far the majority of us.

If we did not have Soc. Security and Medicare.. all of that expense would come back on families just starting out or trying to launch kids into college and it would bankrupt them as they tried to provide for elderly parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

So unless we want to take the Kurt Vonnegut solution in death parlors.. the best thing we have going for everyone is Social Security.

It also helps buisness by having that money pumped into the economy that creates jobs.. etc etc etc

The republicans are clueless on economic matters.
