That there should be the moral complexity that any right wing(either extremists or just a right wing person) should face everyday.It can't be ended drastically, within a year or two. There would have to be a phase-out period or such so people didn't die from inability to work but they were sure SS would be their retirement income.

If one can't phase it out drastically, as in reality, there should be no concern for the purist, the one that believes in so called fiscal responsibility, that believe in so called, 'small government intervention' but the drastic. It isn't realistic, but it is idealistic and it is pure small government intervention and pure fiscal responsibility right? Why care about people's dieing family members with all the taxes we pay because we are robbing healthier people of their income by forcing them to pay taxes and then the people we elect distribute the money to various of areas that our countries face, so why care about those that would die from a drastic ending of SS, or not worry about the issue of poverty in our nation, since of of course the poor will always be there and since their retirement is dependent on SS but they just go out because, 'It's robbing Peter to pay Paul'?
Not meaning to be mean, but why care or why worry about the affects of drastic measures?
social security is probably one of the smartest things the democrats ever put out. too bad it's likely not to be there by the time i retire (if i ever get around to that)
God provides either way though.
what are you talking about? republicans are going to take back control of the house and senate and it will be repealed.Well when Obamacare kicks in, social security will have been saved by denying care to the ones needing the social security, basically everyone 65 and over.
Ok Teabagger.Well when Obamacare kicks in, social security will have been saved by denying care to the ones needing the social security, basically everyone 65 and over.
millions upon millions who have put into it their entire lives and have long since retired would disagree. and no, it probably will not be there in the future.No, its a massive ponzi scheme that won't be there in the future.
Ok Teabagger.
Prove it.
I don't care if your being sarcastic. You started a serious thread and actually a good question until this nonsense so why be like that when you know damn well, you can't prove your sarcasm?Change We Can Believe In is a catchy slogan and so is the Tea Party's drivel.I was being sarcastic; dude, how did you go from thoughtful Libertarian to Democrat? What happened there?

Politics is messy. Ideals can't always ideally be implemented immediately. Can you imagine trying to implement a sudden end to SS? Yeah, that would never fly, the opponents of such a measure would spin that one as people wanting the retired to drop dead on the streets or something equally ludicrous. I don't think a sudden halt to SS could ever be politically feasible.
Either way, I think SS will be useless in a good ten years or so.
There are plenty of Libertarian Democrats and after researching those individuals, I actually realized that I actually do stand there because I will not be found anywhere with a 12 inch stick close to the Republican party and the Libertarian Party now just seems the extreme version of the Republican Party, or they just complain about Bush and Obama and keep their extremities...not much of a 'progressive step'.
Quite likely. I hope there's a way to phase it out instead of having to cut off everyone all at once. Wait, we can always borrow more money from China.
Better yet, we can cut military spending by 50% and pay for it all. There is no reason for us to spend more than half of the rest of the rest of the world combined on fancy guns.Nah. We'll just print more. SS is nothing but a bunch of IOU's sitting in a file drawer in some state anyways that's already a huge part of the federal deficit.
