How Jim Ryan and the repukes will fix Social Security

They will raise the retirement age to 70, thus many will die before 70 and that is how they will fix it: I have a better way and when they retire at 66 they will retire on a livable wage
The new cap on FICA is 110,000, that's it , any earnings over that are not taxed, therefor millionaires and billionaires do not pay social security, Warren Buffett pays SS on just 110,000 but makes 40 billion, congress never talk about lifting the cap because a lot of them are millionaires also, they will not vote to tax them selves and are sorta saying fuck the working slob that when and if he lives to retire ,you slobs can live on 800.00 a month or as Ron PPaul said if you haven't prepared and can't live on a little dab, starve, a Boston study says 11 million millionaires earn 4 trillion yearly that don't pay social security, I called one congressman and he said before he'd pay any more he would opt out, but you can't opt out,dumb repuks

He broke the 4 minute mile.

His records were surpassed by Paul Ryan who ran the mile in two minutes.
