Most want Social Security too and most of their candidates in Congress want to end it. Ryan himself has spoke of ending it many times. Yes, he is still the republican hero.

From what I've noticed, Republicans accuse liberals of only wanting hand outs yet it's republicans doing this that are on the social programs. What a bunch of hypocrites.

to make sure that she needed help walking. They left her setting at the dinner table for hours instead of taking her back to her room.

They forgot to take her telephone away from her and she started calling those of us who had been taking care of her for years. We called the nursing home and complained - not about her calls but to the way they were treating her.

This picture makes me think of that.

should step up and bear the burden, but they are (conveniently)forgetting that most people have jobs and work 12-14 hour days for a bare pittance. And they forget (again conveniently) that we have paid money into the SS and medicare funds for years, and they want their hands on it. They can buy more bombs and stuff and funnel all that money to Dick Cheney and friends.

There are Democrats that accept the money from the wealthy. We need a change from the corrupt culture that has been brought to us by the wealthy 1%.
