The Republican Party hates Social Security and the fact it is so well administered and depended on by so many. The fix is simple — simply raise the rate on how high people stop paying in to at least $200,000 and raise it after that along with the cost-of-living adjustment of Social Security.

God help the press to stay functional and informative; we never needed them more. And I hope these young folks keep one of government’s greatest achievements, Social Security.
