Just like I predicted, despite all the predictioms that the cuts would pay for themselves and nothing need be cut.

cuts to medicare and social security
When did SSDI and MEDI tax rates get cut? HINT: Last time they were cut... Obama was president, and the 'cut' has long ago expired.

Sure, but a rational policy is to just kick everybody under a certain age down the line another month or two. Nobody in their 30s is going to change their vote over 1 month 30 years from now.
Ultimately I don’t think the changes to SS are limited too raising the age to qualify for benefits. The government is going to come for our money through means testing or raising the limits on SS payroll taxes.

Kills the idea it is an insurance program.

Are they going to raise benefits?

It is as if I take a second job paying 20K more and Mrs. BHP spends 30k more and her complaining that my extra job is costing us 10k
