Nikki Haley's first big proposal? Raise the retirement age and cut Social Security and Medicare benefits for "the new generation"

Conservatives, nothing if not predictable…

@gracchus

When the Republicans try to raise the age at which Americans can collect Social Security (and they will, the moment after enough Boomers are old enough to collect) we won’t see anything like these protests. Gen Xers always knew they’d be screwed over and will accept to with mildly outraged resignation on whatever the successor to Twitter is. Millennials, if they care at all, will be primed by conservatives for the entitlement programme to be eliminated completely.
