Isn't it ironic that the same YALibs who cheer Obamacare today will be saddled with paying my soc Sec benefits?

in 20 years when Obama's deficits will be 90% of GDP?

I am paying for people soc security benefits NOW. Have since I started working. That is how social security works fool. And when I retire I will get the benefits.

Edna you're not too smart if you think there will be any social security benefits by the time we are old, it will probably run out by then, the Democrats refuse to fix that, I guess anything that rewards a life time of work the Obama administration is against, but if it gives free stuff to people at the expense of people who work hard than the Obama administration loves it.

Again not true Bob, The future annual add on's in Medicare will be held back to help support the health care package. Medicare will go right on helping people with no change. Just the proposed extra benefits we normally get each year. And that will be reduced about 4 to 5%.

CBO said Obamacare saves $1.338 trillion over the next twenty years. Project that out to 90 years and it lowers the federal deficit $6.021 trillion. Once we get past the baby boomer demographic bubble in approximately 2039, that savings should accelerate.

So you think Social Security will still exist...I don't. We will be bankrupt in 10 years is more likely!

Think of all the sad stories little old people can tell about the Democrats who failed them too!
