(75,480 posts)I'm not disabled or anything, but I am old and I'm finding it harder and harder every day to make ends meet on Social Security. Even though I can work, there are about 100 young people who show up for any job opening in my area that I could do. So no real Medicare if it becomes vouchered and diminishing Social Security purchasing power would definitely put the nail in my coffin and I'm pretty well off from most in my circumstances who rely on government benefits (which we worked for all our lives) and find them disappearing.

(801 posts)assuming a worse case scenario for this country, IF he did, we would have a dem senate and more reps in Congress who are dems so he won't get any of his dracionan lies passed nor will ther be bills for him to sign because the Senate will very likely vote them down. Besides, I doubt Congress would let seniors like us be affected. I have a little bit more of a safety net with Tricare for life and Medicare. But keep saying it! Obama will win! Tweet and spread things around that show him to be a decent president and how Romney will be a disaster--point out his lies and constant repudiation of his own policies and statements, etc. People will get the picture and tell them to get the word out too, everyone passing it along on the itnernet and in person to friends, etc. will help Obama!

We live in a city of about 60 sum thousand,Redder than hell,mostly white and angry old ones,more than 70 % relies on some sort of Federal support;i.e.,SS,SSI, Medicare,Medicare and other programs. These folks are the ones whom support Willard. Oh forgot,mostly Mormon.
