Sorry toad & Kevin, sunsetting means after a period of time to review not end, much like what is done with tax bills. Nowhere do they call for ending SS & Medicare.
Kevin & toad cannot point to a single incorrect statement in the Post article.
It requires new legislation to be passed. Do you really believe if the Republicans are in charge of the government they are going to reauthorize Social Security and Medicare? It's a ploy. Sunset in five years and reauthorize the programs at greatly reduced benefit levels. Then rinse and repeat every 5 years until you achieve a permanent sunset.
