Vote Your Pocket.

       If there was any doubt about how I will vote this November, let me clearly state that I plan to vote Democrat for all candidates for national office. And I highly suggest that every senior citizen do the same. Representative Steve Stivers, Chair of the GOP Congressional Committee, in other words, the guy in charge of defeating the Democrats in Congress this November admitted to a CNBC reporter they would be forced to cut spending for social programs including Social Security and Medicare.
       Let's face it, you can't have these huge tax cuts for the wealthy and still pay for Social security and Medicare. It's all too much spending. So the obvious solution is to slash Social Security and Medicare. After all, who's more important: the elderly or the wealthy?  Old people can easily be swayed and the wealthy have the money to give to campaigns to try to sway those old voters.
       I also suggest that folks who aren't yet old enough for Social Security and Medicare, strongly consider voting Democrat. Because they will someday be old enough and may need that support. It'd be a shame to finally retire only to find out the money you paid into Social Security, which the government faithlessly spent on other things over the decades, no longer exists. And so you're out of luck.
       Makes more sense to vote for the people you know will fight to keep the social programs and if necessary tax the rich instead. I suppose most if not all Republicans will tell you they want to keep the social programs, but the party rules. So if they continue to rule Congress, they'll get their way, not yours. The Democrats have always fought for the social programs. Here endeth my voting plans.
