(182,769 posts)One of the oddest parts is that they really think there's been no economic growth
I know they hate Obama and are set on erasing everything he did. To scrub him from history. There was growth and a lot of stemmed from tax cuts to the middle class (yes Virginia that happened during the recovery). Totally delusional.

(25,111 posts)deductions can not be included in worker's paychecks. In order to keep SS, Medicare and Medicaid viable for people over 55 years old now, the deductions must continue. Therefore, the GOPers are cheating the working class.

(63,203 posts)" It'll be tough, but I know that Trump is doing the right thing, and I trust him to decide what's best for the country. He has to cut social security because Barry HUSSEN Obummer screwed up the economy so badly. "
This is not speculation. I have had this discussion with local idiots, and they cultishly prostrate themselves before their orange idiot idol even as he works to destroy them.

Hillarys Plan: Debt and Entitlements
Clinton has stood up for Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid her entire career, and she will not stop now.
She will ensure the wealthy, Wall Street, and big corporations pay their fair share, invest in middle-class families, and defend and expand Medicare and Social Security.
Furthermore, her new plans are paid for, so they will not add to the national debt.

Donald Trump may have abused the tax system to avoid paying taxes into Social Security and Medicare Hillary Clinton would help end this practice.
Based on what we do know about Donald Trumps tax returns, independent experts at the Tax Policy Center believe that Trump may have avoided paying his fair share in taxes into Social Security and Medicare by abusively taking advantage of the so-called Gingrich-Edwards loophole.

Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton embraced a proposal from President Obamas budget that would end such abuses and crack down on tax gaming by high-income individuals through shifting business income,
