"Democrats stand ready to address the challenges facing Social Security's solvency..."

Face it, it's broke. Nix it, don't fix it...

If Socialist Security is so great how come government employees are allowed to opt out of it?

And if private accounts are so heinous how come government employees are allowed to have their Socialist Security withholdings invested into them?

Yo, Congressthing Pelosi! We want the same Socialist Security options you have. What's the big deal?

To prevent duplication, please do not alter the heading. Thanks.

Democrats said on Saturday they are ready to move toward revamping the financially troubled retirement program but warned against stripping away benefits to retirees and relying on private accounts for funding.

So they'll help revamp it, but only if we agree to not do any of the things needed to make it solvent. In other words, they'll agree to raise the payroll tax. Why am I not surprised, or expecting this to have any effect at all?

FDR was able to give us Social Security because of the turncoat vote of a republican conservative SC justice named "ROBERTS".

70?

Isn't that way past mandatory retirement age?
