It was nice to pay 2% less,
****
And no Republican ever mentions that Bush proposed putting that same 2% in a private account IF the payer wished to do so. It would have reduced “unfunded liability” of the SS program, instead of what Obama has “given” the employees of America, which has increased the liability and reduced the potential amount a retiree would eventually be able to collect.
Why has there been total silence on this fact?
You’re so right. You could have heard crickets out of Juan McCain who was all busy with campaign finance reform dear Lord I sleep better every night knowing McCain worked so hard on that piece of stupid so NOT of concern to most Americans. Thank God our candidate ig nored the elected Repub president to build his legacy on campaign finance reform rather than silly stuff like reducing debt and economic nonsense.
Since SS is based on how much you pay into the fund it also reduces the amount those paying into the fund now will get later. It was a true lose/lose proposition designed by the regime. Possibly a Geithner plan, who knows. All designed to bring us ever closer to the brink as they have done and will do on and on until we crash.Then it will be our fault for not compromising. These are slick assholes we are dealing with.
