The Word Is Out - GOP Candidate Says "Sunset" Social Security That Means ----

they would support sunsetting Medicare, Food Stamps, Medicaid et al as well. Voters must pay attention to the rhetoric where ever it comes from. Senatorial candidate McMahon of Connecticut has made it clear that she supports setting a "kill date" for Social Security.

I have often said that the GOP will just stop the checks immediately given the chance. How sunsetting would work is a mystery of course.

We must alway be on the guard because the GOP has made it clear that IT WILL NEVER GIVE UP.

THIS is why the GOP wants to "sunset" Social Security... they don't want to pay back what they took!
