I want all politicians who are against Social Security and Medicare to do this.
I want them to put their money where their mouths are. I want them to start taking care of their parents, any aunt or uncle who doesn't have children, and all their disabled relatives as well and support them for both living expenses and medical care. I want them to take these blood relatives off of Social Security and Medicare and pay for their support and medical treatment from their own pockets. When they can do that, then they can get up on the podium and talk about entitlements and lottery etc. referring to these programs.

Also, I want to know if any Social Security and Medicare funds went to pay for that monstrosity of an American embassy in Baghdad, Iraq.

1. I want THEM to give back their checks
McCain gets SS, and I'm sure some others do as well.

2. If he paid into it all his life, he is entitled to his check, however, if
he doesn't want the rest of us to get what we paid for then he should stop collecting SS.

3. I want them to live off the $800 a month many social security
recipients receive and imagine how those same recipients would fare without it.

4. Yes, they haven't a clue in their ivory towers how hard it is
to scrape by on that let alone nothing.
