CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not to mention, the government and laws have changed a great deal. Increases to retirement age were passed and have been phased in, like Biden wanted, so it isn't necessarily a "gotcha" that he is against further increases to the retirement age.
We also see a change, even in CNN's video when it comes to sunset laws -- it would appear he realized that some programs, such as social security, needed to be protected from sunset laws; hence the difference in the proposal he made in 1975 vs the one in 1978.
And all of this ignores the issues with politics today. In the 70s, and even the 80s, both parties still attempted to work together for the good of the nation and there was a serious hope and belief that both sides would work together and compromise to keep vital programs funded. Today, from what I can see of Congress, there is no such hope and a divided Congress, faced with a "sunset," might rather see the government fall than to give a "win" to the other party -- particularly if it is Republicans refusing to vote for various entitlements, the IRS, the DoJ (so long as there is a Democratic president), and FBI; or Democrats refusing to vote for various multi-billion dollar defense programs or programs that largely benefit agricultural (Republican) states.

Yeah, I thought the Clinton/Communist News Network was totally in the bag for Biden.
