Say It Ain't So, Hillary Clinton - You're Open to the Idea of Raising the Retirement Age? [View all] portlander23 Oct 2015 OP

Shouldn't even be looking at it JackInGreen Oct 2015 #1

So her not being in favor of raising it means she's in favor of raising it? JaneyVee Oct 2015 #2

The Bernie fans are in panic mode workinclasszero Oct 2015 #4

Thank you giftedgirl77 Oct 2015 #5

I would consider it. But I have yet to find any recommendation that I would think would be suitable jeff47 Oct 2015 #27

Sanders supporters are panicking... BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #40

You have to look at the words she used ... JoePhilly Oct 2015 #77

Reading comprehension fail... Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #3

So, if she finds a way that fulfills her requirements, azmom Oct 2015 #7

And if it fullfilled those requirements, Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #9

Really? So why even bring it up? Just say no. azmom Oct 2015 #12

Because some people deal in nuance. Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #18

If nothing could ever meet those requirements, why pretend something could? jeff47 Oct 2015 #57

Once again, nuance. Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #67

Because it shows that she investigated it and dismissed it as not viable. What could possibly be seaglass Oct 2015 #22

If it's not viable, why does she say she would consider it? (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #48

To screw with the GOP. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #87

why? azmom Oct 2015 #91

Because they clearly love the pain. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #92

If she came out firmly against it, azmom Oct 2015 #96

Good job not bolding the sentence where she says she'd consider it. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #29

... BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #45

Good job failing reading comprehension. Nt Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #68

She's said she'd consider it, but hasn't found a proposal she likes yet. jeff47 Oct 2015 #70

Consider it IF it meets certain criteria. Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #71

Is this somehow unclear to you? dsc Oct 2015 #8

She should just take a position portlander23 Oct 2015 #10

Again what is dancing around about this dsc Oct 2015 #14

Honestly, just like TPP, as of today.... azmom Oct 2015 #15

Read the rest of her convoluted sentence please Armstead Oct 2015 #21

Is this somehow unclear to you? jeff47 Oct 2015 #30

Oy vey BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #49

No, cherry picking is pretending she only expressed opposition. jeff47 Oct 2015 #53

What happens if congress passes a bill that raises it and does something else that she wants LiberalArkie Oct 2015 #37

She offered an honest and organized summary of our options and Hortensis Oct 2015 #11

20 or 35 years? You have got to azmom Oct 2015 #13

65+20=85. 65+35=100. Lots of people are now and more will be living that long. Hortensis Oct 2015 #64

She won't be doing any shaking doen of the billionaire class Armstead Oct 2015 #19

You just came out in favor of raising the retirement age to 102. jeff47 Oct 2015 #31

Is this how you usually interpret what you read, Jeff47? Hortensis Oct 2015 #97

Forgot what's in your own post? jeff47 Oct 2015 #98

Umhm. There is more than one way to interpret that, isn't there? Hortensis Oct 2015 #100

87 - 102 to start drawing? Batshit crazy. The current age is 67. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #69

Is this how you usually interpret the written word, Kentuckian? Hortensis Oct 2015 #99

Yes, seeing that I read in English. What other interpretation was I to glean from TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #102

We need to get rid of the cap and lower the retirement age. WDIM Oct 2015 #16

The math on that doesn't work mythology Oct 2015 #23

Actually, you can. jeff47 Oct 2015 #32

Any income over $117,000 isnt taxed for SSI WDIM Oct 2015 #66

Sure you can, if wages go up (nt) Recursion Nov 2015 #105

My God! Can she ever say anything straightforward??!? Armstead Oct 2015 #17

K & R !!! WillyT Oct 2015 #20

She is engaging in double talk Robbins Oct 2015 #24

Helpful hint mythology Oct 2015 #25

"I would consider it" means she's opposed? jeff47 Oct 2015 #33

In order to criticize her, BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #52

So being against it is now being for it. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #26

She said "I would consider it". That isn't being against it. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #35

It's like you can't read a full article. It isn't that long. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #42

Yes, it isn't that long. It's so odd you can't find this part jeff47 Oct 2015 #44

Do you realize that a comma does not signify that the next word is the start of a new sentence? seaglass Oct 2015 #47

And those platitudes does not change that she would consider it. jeff47 Oct 2015 #51

It does not change that your post was deceptive. I have no idea who Hillary is not including in seaglass Oct 2015 #62

Well, it wouldn't include me. jeff47 Oct 2015 #65

I have a desk job too and am closing in on early retirement. I include myself in the seaglass Oct 2015 #73

Because the program has to be based on something more than "I wanna". jeff47 Oct 2015 #74

Considering that she said she would not favor raising the retirement age I think this conversation seaglass Oct 2015 #75

No, she said she hasn't seen a proposal she likes. You quoted it in reply 47. jeff47 Oct 2015 #76

We fundamentally disagree that she wants to raise the retirement age. I suppose we could speculate, seaglass Oct 2015 #82

Not at all. I'm just not going to let a lie sit unchallenged. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #83

lol. have fun. n/t seaglass Oct 2015 #84

I published the full context from the article portlander23 Oct 2015 #39

It ain't so, Portlander. "I would not favor raising the retirement age." Nitram Oct 2015 #28

"I would consider it" means she's opposed? (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #34

Meaning she will always listen to proposals. Nitram Oct 2015 #36

So she's waiting for a proposal to raise the retirement age. jeff47 Oct 2015 #41

OK, I give. You've made up your mind. Nitram Oct 2015 #46

I'm not putting words in her mouth. jeff47 Oct 2015 #55

The problem is that you still trust her. n/t Dawgs Oct 2015 #59

So laying out why she is against raising the age actually shows she is open to raising the age? Godhumor Oct 2015 #38

It does when she says she will consider raising the retirement age in the same paragraph. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #43

This mealymouthed answer on SS should be unacceptable from a Dem nominee for President. Broward Oct 2015 #50

Message auto-removed Name removed Oct 2015 #54

Yeah, that sums up many posters here. Sad but true. Broward Oct 2015 #56

Oh why not Faux pas Oct 2015 #58

A few tidbits from DU past wilsonbooks Oct 2015 #60

Yeah her record on this is spotty portlander23 Oct 2015 #63

The difference I see here is that Hillary says it like upaloopa Oct 2015 #61

But we want easily digestible sound bites! Dr Hobbitstein Oct 2015 #72

Looks like the author of that article is a liar, plain and simple. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #78

Really? portlander23 Oct 2015 #80

He wrote a sensationalist piece and you fell for it hook line and sinker! riversedge Oct 2015 #85

I said he was VISUALLY impaired ... and yet you read MENTALLY impaired. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #89

Let's put this in perspective... brooklynite Oct 2015 #79

You should delete Your OP. It is a misleading article headline that contradicts the actually riversedge Oct 2015 #81

Really? portlander23 Oct 2015 #86

I read the entire story and took in the context. Enough said. riversedge Oct 2015 #94

He should leave it up ... JoePhilly Oct 2015 #90

Well, now that is a good way t0 think about this stupid OP, thanks. riversedge Oct 2015 #93

little bit here, little bit there, Hillary is a third way libertarian and why the rich love her so. Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #88

Libertarians don't support endless wars jfern Oct 2015 #103

There is evidence that you are wrong since most of the current office holding Republicans are Todays_Illusion Oct 2015 #104

So she's open to creating different classes of SS recipients based on their occupations CharlotteVale Oct 2015 #95
