Reply to comment by tackle_bones in Paul Ryan says he 'had too much power' as House speaker by bomberesque1

I never got the obsession with killing off social security. What do they think will happen?

I’m not sure. I always thought they picked him, in part, because I believe he was raised partially on welfare. So of course, who is a better person to fight against it than someone that directly benefitted from it?!

People like that are the worst because they have to believe that they were "deserving" of that help and that everyone else just needs to suck it up

They don't want to kill it off, they want to make it so that every X years you need to have a vote to extend it. Democrats will always vote yes, but Republicans will use it as leverage to get concessions. Because they're assholes.
