Fairness

According to an email I just got, as I seem to be on absolutely everyone's mailing lists these days:
Sen. Warren just announced a plan to fix that and expand Social Security. She's proposing the Seniors And Veterans Emergency (SAVE) Benefits Act, which would give 70 million Americans an emergency benefit increase of about $580 -- that's 3.9% for 2016, the same raise that the big CEOs got last year.
What on earth makes anyone think that we can afford to give 70 million people "the same raise" that "big CEOs" get?

    So who do they propose to TAKE the money from? those same people who will inevitably lose purchasing power due to inflation? They certainly won't gather the money via a tax, nor will they cut any existing program, so they will ,in essence, print it.

    Or that government has an obligation to.

    So who do they propose to TAKE the money from?

    Money grows on the Liberal/OPM tree.

    Where will the money come from? I heard Planned Profit has an amazing business of the 21st century, and their output is amazing, especially with migrant big family populations to form the new foundation.

    Of a better livestock farm that is.
