There’s some truth to the Dem’s claim of Repubs trying to wheel Grannie off the cliff. The Republican party is complicit in the stealing of her life savings to provide pork. Everybody is whining about how much SS costs. The money was taken out to pay for this sixty five years ago. And FICA taxes are still being collected. The conservatives feel that they should be entitled to use this money for their pet projects instead of paying their debt to Grannie and her grandchildren.
How many of you know horror stories of decrepit people denied SS and people who were just allergic to work getting a swift OK? Ever seen somebody park in a handicapped spot and jump out and run in the store? SS was run the same way as the handicap sticker program. SS needs to be cleaned up, but just because pundits and politicians don’t work is no reason to raise the retirement age. Maybe pundits and politicians should be required to get real jobs when they turn sixty.
To sum up, the government should pay what it owes, quit borrowing, and throw illegals, GM, UN, etc. under the bus. SS is not broke. The government is not broke. Politicians are morally bankrupt.
