Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Saturday that one of his top priorities, once he takes control of the chamber’s Social Security Subcommittee in January, will be to lift the cap on taxable income that funds the program and increase benefit payments by at least $2400 per year.

    We could probably spend less money on the baby killing machine that makes psychopath soldiers.

        It’s funny how some people, (not you frisbird) who claim to be lefties and say they hate Trump, go ape shit the moment you touch the military budget.

        Fucking posers.

      We can obviously spend less on the military, but that’s not how OASDI is funded…

      You also don’t know anything about the military apparently

        They can free up that money and allocate it elsewhere.

        ETA Pentagon never passed an audit.

            I always check account ages. Anything your age is suspiciously part of the problem.

            Enjoy the country you definitely fought to make like this.
