All Presidential candidates should be required to swear a legal oath of truth when they declare their interest in running for President of the United States (and subsequently, the candidate's VP too). Lies should be punishable as perjury whether about themself or the other candidate. If they smear a candidate blatantly like this social security B.S. then additional $ damages should be awarded to the candidate who was attacked from the donations from the campaign... and the FCC should throw something in for good measure for using airtime for false advertising. Other solutions?
