Ironically, one year ago the left claimed that Social Security was not in trouble.
For years, the social security system has taken in more money than it needed. The excess was supposed to be placed in a trust fund to use when the baby boomers started to retire.
Congress repeatedly raided the trust fund and spent it, leaving an IOU. Senior citizens tend to vote more than other groups, and their numbers will grow. This ponzi scheme is about to implode, and the democrats will loose their support.
That is one more reason why they are so anxious to give citizenship to 12 million illegals, and throw granny under the bus at the same time.
