Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses discusses proposed changes to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
“The collection of fat cells that have absorbed the person called Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke to a gathering of supporters in New Hampshire. He called for massive reforms to the way Social Security and other benefits for the elderly and retired are handled. Benefits for those earning more than eighty thousand dollars a year would be strictly reduced and completely eliminating benefits for those making more than two hundred thousand a year. He also called to raise the retirement age to sixty nine, an additional two years past the original age of sixty seven.
This call for reform comes during a time that it is assumed that the New Jersey Governor may soon be announcing his own Presidential Bid for the 2016 race.”
Would these changes be a benefit or would they cause suffering? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
