2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo regarding Social Security, does Hillary have a plan for increasing revenue???
I would think an essential part of keeping Social Security intact is to make sure it's well funded. Bernie has a clear plan, which assures me that Social Security will not be cut. Hillary's lack of specifics is worrisome.

It's the biggest pile of slush money. Remember Al Gore getting belittled for the "lock box". The reason why is because Social Security revenues are BILLIONS more that what is needed to pay benefits. Instead of using it for benefit of senior citizen and the disabled they raid the surpluses for fighter jets and bombs. God forbid the war profiteers pay the cost of protecting their oil, gas and other plundered resources around the globe.

.....sources of revenue as well -- can't retrieve it just now, but she mentioned passive income I think, that is, the stuff rich people earn off investments and not from a job.
