Isn’t compromise obvious course now for GOPs? How about a bill with just requirement for a photo ID to vote. Drop the proof of citizenship for registration. (Let government enforce it.) Drop mail-in rules. I think mail-in rules are more important, but you take what you can get. https://t.co/ECJBgViIhj

I disagree–it doesn’t turn it into a welfare program. I’d define “welfare” as “the government gives you money even if you don’t work”–eg. the old AFDC program. Even in a dramatically means-tested SS system you don’t qualify for anything if you haven’t worked the requisite https://t.co/FCWg8zRi3J

Today’s crazy idea: If you want to take it out of the elderly’s hide, isn’t there an obvious mild means-test compromise solution: Let the 20% *overall* cut happen, but make the cut nothing for the poorest recipients, and about 40% for the richest, and 20% about halfway between https://t.co/SjmXaDZGz3
