No. The Republicans will not heed it. They have sold their souls to the devil.

Social Security expansion bill poised to gain traction in Congress

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/02/22/...-congress.html

A sensible, necessary bill. The Repugnicans will, therefore, likely block it from becoming law.

Something along these lines is exactly what Social Security needs, except I would dump the increase in rates and let the top income level taxed adjust automatically to cover current benefits.

Ahead of 2020, Koch brothers consider backing some Democrats

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ahead...155746968.html

And they're still refusing to back Donny 2020. Pragmatic, they're certainly not having a sudden attack of morality.

The aren't backing Democrats for any reason except to move the party rightward. These guys are the greatest influence-buyers of all time.

ANY Democrat shown to have taken Koch money should be tarred and feathered.
