With their election numbers looking grim, Democrats have returned to an old favorite: warning seniors that Republicans are going to take their Social Security away.
Yesterday Capital Hill received an e-mail press release from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., celebrating the 75th anniversary of Social Security. It also darkly warned that:
In 1935, Republicans stood in the way of its creation. And in recent years, theyve only renewed their efforts to undermine and privatize Social Security.

Dunno but it was on a huge Suburban and I bet it drives the Obamulans Nuts.
Probably not. I don’t think that being able to read or to think is required to be a Stroker supporter.
Dems have taken their Healthcare away.
My Dad had to have some heart surgery and Medicare hardly paid at all.
Dems want to let people die.
I'm as anti-Baraq as anybody but almost none of the stuff has been implemented yet. So whatever happened to your Dad was almost certainly in place previously.
I thought the cuts to Medicare happened immediately.
If there were a system in place where every Democrat who said that same thing over the years had to contribute $ 10 to the Social Security "trust fund" (yes, I know it never existed, either) each time he or she said it, the Social Security system might have less financial problems than it currently does!

H, we are already scared of the marxist cut and gut of Medicare.
Meanwhile, in Committee, the dems are advising that the government nationalize prive IRAs and Roth account, because the government has a tax lien on themoney, and investors need to be protected from the dirty rotten hedge funds that do the investing.
If that happens ALL of the money will be immediately spent, and government IOUs given out for those who held such accounts, and you might get it back in monthly payments until you kick off, and the government gets the rest. If you have an IRA or Roth account, LIQUIDATE IT NOW, take the penalties and get your money into an off shore investment account, STAT!
Sure, the Republicans are going to end SOcial Scurity? The opposite is true.
