I've watched this video over and over.

Can someone point out exactly where is his answer to the question?

[LAWAGO]

HE DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill didn't sit down and come up with a solution to Social Security back in 83. They created a bipartisan commission that worked on the problem and found a solution.

The solution? Raise payroll taxes and increase the retirement age. Not easy choices but choices that need to be made.

Our solutions now?

First we need to eliminate Social Security payouts to people who have a certain high income level. This level needs to be determined.

[HeavyIntoNothing]

Second, we need to eliminate the early retirement age of 62 and change it to 65 and we should progressively raise the retirement age to 70

Third, we need to raise again the payroll taxes on all income groups.

And last and most important. Remember the 2000elections and the LOCK BOX. We need to stop borrowing from the Social Security system and allow that money to get an annual return just as a certificate of deposit would get.

[HeavyIntoNothing]

That my friends would give us a temperory solution to our problem. It would make Social Security secure until at least 2050.

These are ideas that a bipartisam commission had come up with and no one seems to listen.

Ronald Reagan knew and even stated that he was not equipped to fix Social Security. He needs far greater minds than his. That is why he created the bipartisan commission. And that is what we need to do today to fix the problem.

Oh no more thing, John McCain did not answer the question at all. He just side stepped it by throwing around a bunch of names. He does not have a clue how to fix the system.

You can tell when he bullshits a question, he always does this: When he doesn't know the answer, he'll start naming all of these other guys and what THEY did. I want to know what YOU"LL do, not them. He's such a fuckin dumbass

What does he care about seniors? NOTHING! He is a multi-millionaire. He owns seven or eight homes and a GUARANTEED taxpayer-funded pension. McCain is a liar and an adulterer. He is not to be trusted. McCain was against torturing before he was for it. McCain was not tortured to make him tell the Vietcong how to fly a jet plane.

[whitymale]

the question is how do you fix it ldiot,going across the isle without a plan won`t fix anything MCBUSH

HOW DO YOU FIX IT ?
