To the Editor:
Social Security is a major topic these days.
When will it go bankrupt.
How do you fix it?
Who is deserving?
Where can changes be made?
What is the cause of problems?
My perception – elected politicians in Washington won’t tell you the truth; they want your vote – and independent thinking is no longer allowed in the two major parties. And what’s interesting to the press are simple and sensationalized information: entertainment.
So – I tried using a site I found with friends on both sides – MAGA and NOT MAGA (I say it that way because while MAGA seems to refer all NON MAGA as liberals – that doesn’t fit what I observe). Using this site – it came up with amazing insight. I received it from a friend: 3 time congressman – tea party platform – evangelist. So I assumed we had different opinions on Social Security. We didn’t – using this “interactive” tool – we found lots of agreement. It is a simulator. Try it!

And then share – what did you come up with? What would your strategy be?
