would be a concrete plan to fix Social Security as a main talking point ahead of the midterms. A plan to claw back tax cuts and have the rich pay their share and as a bonus take the charges for Medicare for the retired off the books. A lot of things can be done to fix our problem with the voters and solve a lot of our countries problems .A guarantee to fix Social Security if given the senate and the house ,and it can be done if the effort is put forward . The payments for insurance hurts when prices always rise for goods and the little raise people recieve is mostly wiped out with the rise in medicare premiums .
