What are they thinking about doing to Social Security,and Medicare? This scares me. I don't need this anxiety,and agitation. I'm on Social Security Disability.

It seems like the rich think that they are...(Entitled)...to continue receiving tax breaks that has hurt the economy,not to mention the Military Industrial Complex that Dwight David Eisenhower warned us about. You can see the 1961 speech on youtube,when he was giving his last speech. He was exactly right. I heard the Generals talking about nation building in the last couple of years.

I am frightened. They don't seem to understand reality in Washington anymore. There's a reason that Franklin Roosevelt created Social Security,and it's been working,and coming out of our paychecks.

I'm sorry to have gotten into politics,but what are they doing?
