Trump could use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to White House
And he also gave us the Manhattan Project, social security, revived the economy during WW2, and was…
We can’t leave them out to dry, and if that were privatized, they’d just be indebted to those corporations for generations. We needed it for the elderly, we needed it so they weren’t left to die on the streets if they were left without a retirement fund. It’s called a safety net for a reason, and that safety net saves lives.

If they never had to pay for it in the first place, however, this issue would be nonexistent. The returns on their "investment" seniors get in this program proves it is a liability, not an asset.

Healthcare isn’t a freaking investment it’s not a business, nor should it have ever been, it’s a means of keeping people healthy into their elderly years. I didn’t say that ALL seniors would be in jeopardy, but far too many would be. Privatizing social security is a lazy and obvious cash grab for the very corporations you so vehemently stand against. Seniors, if they got an unlucky investment, would suffer incredibly in their old age. Corporations don’t increase the quality of their care, they just ramp up costs while stockpiling the drugs they have so then it can have momentary demand, and even then, the process is delayed. Besides, people don’t always make good investment decisions, and when that happens, they suffer. It’s a really crappy idea in general.
