Are you willing to compromise on Social Security and Medicare? [View all]

They had better watch how they talk to me about Social Security and Medicare....I'm their worst nightmare....I'm a senior on steroids....I'll drool and bleed all over them.

I'm not willing to give up one red cent of my Social Security or Medicare so that the richer can get richer. How about you?
