(62,325 posts)there should be bigger increases. The very fact that you believe this, shows how successful the propaganda has been, aided by Democrats who have refused to take a firm stand against the lies from the Right.
And your post is proof positive of why Manny is worried, and me, and so many, many others. Because your post demonstrates a willingness to even consider cuts in SS, and decreased benefits ARE cuts, that should never even be talked about by people who understand the situation.
Listen to Bernie Sanders if the want the facts on SS. The way he speaks so clearly on the subject is all we are asking Democrats to do so that no one will be willing to believe the false claims that SS needs to be touched at all other than raising the cap and increasing benefits.
Sorry, I am not trying to be negative towards you, but it upsets me to see even Democrats now believing the lies about SS and makes me even more worried than I was already. What it means is, what Manny is trying to say, the Dems have failed to counter the lies of the right on SS.
