    For 8 years, the GOP talked about cutting benefits Americans earned through decades of hard work. Dems are serious about solving the social security crisis & today's @WaysMeansCmte hearing was the first step. We must fulfill the promise of a retirement with dignity & security.

        Social security should include housing and basic housing.

        How about raising the upper limits at which a person can be taxed? Let's try having the first $15,000 exempt, tax anything after that. Why should payment cap out on first $140K earned. Even increasing to first $1M would shore up SS. #FixSS

        What were some of their specific proposals & when did they make them? Perhaps they called for means-testing it, i.e. cutting benefits going to people above a certain level of wealth? Though doubtful GOP would do anything that'd make wealthy people less wealthy (or touch 3rd rail)

        If Dems would stop handing out 150 BILLION to illegals every year, then retired Americans could have better benefits.

        "Serious about solving the social security crisis" - by depleteing the funds that would be used for that purpose, because they are being allocated to the MILLIONS of Illegal Migrants, whom they refuse to bar from entering this country, by building a Wall or Legislating the fix...

        A flat tax on Social Security would DOUBLE BENFITS. Why do the rich workers NOT pay their taxes? Make everyone pay the same tax on SS and we won't have these issues.
