"I spent my entire life planning for retirement with Social Security."
That's really the difference, because as a Millennial, it's a *literal zero* on my personal balance sheet.
I'm not planning my life around a government handout. Doesn't matter to me if it's cut entirely.
Usually I agree with you and I’m a staunch Republican but if you take away my Social Security I’m a Democrat for the first time in my life. I spent my entire life planning for retirement with Social Security a major part of it and paid into the systems as a young person so that the older generation could have some support
I’ll make a deal with you, pay me back every penny I put into it and every penny my employers put into it on my behalf at 5% interest and you can take away the monthly checks.
