The GOP debate
I caught bits and pieces. Overall, meh. It consisted mostly of Ronald Reagan, peace be upon him, which is silly. Oh and libertarians are bad. The focus seemed to be social issues likely because it was hosted by MSNBC and they know that’s the Republican weak point.
I have to give Ron Paul credit for outright dismissing questions. The questions he got were of the loaded variety and he called them out. Good.
A few years back, calling social security a ponzi scheme would have been political suicide and ridiculed as asinine and silly. But a funny thing happened: my generation hit middle age. And my generation realizes that social security is pretty bad and not to be relied upon.

I am disheartened that you call our generation “middle-aged”.

“…Ronald Reagan, peace be upon him,…”
ROFL

Now your generation just needs to realize that Social Security needs to go away, and we might pull out of this intact…

I’m pretty sure that the Medicare unfunded mandate will swamp us far before the Social Security typhoon does, at least at this rate.
I just hope I get my Medicare-Approved, Electric Scooters for which I do not have to submit any paperwork out of the scheme before the whole house of cards crashes and burns.
