Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Saturday that one of his top priorities, once he takes control of the chamber’s Social Security Subcommittee in January, will be to lift the cap on taxable income that funds the program and increase benefit payments by at least $2400 per year.

    We can obviously spend less on the military, but that’s not how OASDI is funded…

    You also don’t know anything about the military apparently

      They can free up that money and allocate it elsewhere.

      ETA Pentagon never passed an audit.

        How do you pass an audit while doing classified R&D?

        “Yes, and here we spent 10 million dollars on a project which we cannot confirm exists”

        That’s also how you end up with the Pentagon spending 10 million dollars on a single toilet. They bought more than the toilet, they’re just only willing to show you the toilet.

        You’re running around saying:

        No I think Dems need to kill a few people. They won’t of course and this comment will be moderated to keep Americans from rising up! ;)

        And calling other people psychopaths

          I always check account ages. Anything your age is suspiciously part of the problem.

          Enjoy the country you definitely fought to make like this.
