Social Security...

Clinton has a plan, Trump has a talking point.

2 things:

1. Yes, raising the cap on contributions is a good step and long overdue IMHO.

2. Raising the minimum wage would provide an infusion of revenue at the bottom of the system. We need that too.

Benefits for those paying into the system now. Let's protect the future of the benefits.

Trump's plan of repealing Obamacare and the replacement will be people putting $2000 limit a year to provide healthcare. What happens to the healthcare of children until they are able to supply their fund? Next problem with the minimum wage $7.25 I don't see how a business man finds the $2000 per year.

intentionally "non-partisan." I guess they are tired of being accused of being an arm of the Repub party.

Clinton has a plan, which looks pretty good and what I said is true: raising the min wage will increase revenue for the program.
