Paul Ryan Questions... Over the years, how much money has been "borrowed" from Social Security and/or Medicare? How and when do you plan to repay it? Or, are the bonds held for repayment worth anything? Do you plan to default and send many, many individuals who saved into financial ruin? Once you have answered these questions, we will determine your contributions and worth to this county!REPORT COMMENTS

As an American, I worked hard for many years and was promised a bit of help with social security and health benefits with Medicare when I turned 65.

Members of Congress have taken money from the Social Security Trust Fund for their pork barrel spending for decades and left IOU's. The Trust has not been repaid. I'd they took money from. Trust Fund in the private sector they would be charged with a crime and have to reimburse the Fund from their own pockets. It is time that those in government follow the same rules that private citizens have to follow. We need to know which members of Congress voted to take money from the Trust Fund and make them repay the money they took from the Trust Fund. The Court should make them repay the money. This is a crime that they committed. I am asking that the next President will look into this theft.REPORT COMMENTS

When Corporate America went broke, they took tons of our retirement money with them,. Now, they took over our country. America is not a Corporation, it is not a business, it is a country with people that have been led to believe that manipulating votes, making your best friends Electoral College Electors, making everyone transparent except our "public servants" ( that would be governors, congress, the senate, and the president). They will take away every dime we have until we have nothing, and yes, we did EARN every darn dime we ever, ever worked for and invested in what we were told would never be used for anything else but our Social SECURITY retirement account! If you want to be the American President or any of the Staff of the American President sell all your stocks, bonds, foreign business, Cayman Island bank accounts, Swiss bank bonds, and INVEST IT AL L IN AMERICA. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!..LEAVE OURS ALONE, WE INVESTED EVERY PENNY WE COULD SPARE INTO OUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT. LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I worked since I was 17 years old. Truth is congress used the social security trust fund to pay for other things transferring that money to the general fund.. you guys should pay that back with interest and raise the cap on contributions of the rich. Let the immigrants who are here working hard stay and step out of the shadows and help strengthen social security. Stop making wall street and the world banks rich at our expense. My grandparents came here for freedom not slavery and fascist rule. They are not entitlements but earned retirement subsidy.REPORT COMMENTS

I am almost 60 years old & disabled. Now that the 'GOP' is back again to take, take. take from the poor and seniors!! They a vile ruthless corrupt bunch of criminals. Medicare has been under attack by politicians like Paul Ryan and his 'Republican gang' who want to privatize Medicare. I SAY NO! Medicare works for me. Things like free mammograms, colonoscopies, doctor visits and so on. Now, the Republicans want to take my medical care away and privatize it with vouchers generated by insurance companies! Seriously? These vouchers will pay only a portion of the health care we now get free under Medicare. Can seniors & disabledon a fixed income afford this? Can we afford more out-of-pocket medical costs at 60, 70, 80 or 90 years of age? Will Republicans really put ?granny? in the streets with their voucher scheme? It?s ironic that politicians with cushy government funded health care paid by taxpayers are telling seniors to do with less. Politicians want us to spend more out of pocket, with vouchers, and get less? Really?REPORT COMMENTS

Republican propaganda: that Social Security and Medicare are "entitlements" that we seniors don't deserve, that paying Social Security to us is bankrupting the federal government. But you will give millions, even billions of taxpayer money to your corporate donors without flinching. You give taxpayer money in subsidies to corporations and then have the audacity to tell seniors that our earned Social Security and Medicare need to be cut or eliminated. You Republicans are disgusting and despicable.REPORT COMMENTS

Medicare is already very thin. I have a traumatic brain injury that requires cognitive therapy. The budget annually for my treatment is $1700. I try to use it in Fall and Winter to wrap my benefits from one year to the next. Frankly, I need the benefit year round. Additionally, I have a psychiatric disability. The limit on that in 190 lifetime days. This is often used up early on in the diagnostic phase of the illness. When crisis happens later in life, there is no hospital coverage left leaving people bankrupt. Working people have challenges as well. Private sector jobs have no pensions, no healthcare provisions for retirement life. Most families work very hard to get their children educated and independent. Parents find themselves in their mid-fifties before they are able to begin saving for retirement. I know all this because of my difficulties and the lives I see my 5 brothers and sisters living. All of them with double incomes and children in college. They are all trying very hard to hold onto the middle class. Some have lost jobs in RIFT's only to find prejudice companies have hiring people in their 40's or 50's. Social Security is exactly what the name states. It is a safety net. It is needed now more than ever. Along with Medicare, they comprise the foundation of non-pension earning retirement plans. With the top 1% unwilling to share the riches of business adventures...THE LEAST THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO IS ELIMINATE THE MAXIMUM FICA DEDUCTION AND INCREASE THE MEDICARE PAYROLL DEDUCTION TO MEET INCREASED MEDICARE PREMIUMS. Cutting Medicare and Social Security benefits would only hurt the vast majority of your constituents. Sincerely, Maria C Kenny, PharmD, BS, MasterGardener, Advocate/VolunteerREPORT COMMENTS

I am 60 and my health is starting to fail. I have worked and paid into Social Security and Medicare since I was about 14 years old. In the last 46 years there has only been a few months that I was not employed full time. I was hoping to work until 62 and take retirement but always knew that would depend on what I would be able to do about Medical Insurance. I fully support any movement blocking benefit cuts unless they want to pay each and every one of us all of the money we paid into the system plus what our employers paid in PLUS compound interest. We can handle it from there. The problem is they have "borrowed" trillions of dollars from Social Security and are now looking for ways to weasel out of that portion of the debt.REPORT COMMENTS
