It doesn't matter that they paid into Social Security all of their lives. The government spent the money and gave nothing more than a promise to pay it back in the future (if you are still alive and if they have the money to pay you).
The liberal media will ignore Obama's FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) tactics. It's the evil Republicans who want to push grandma off the cliff, not Obama. The fact that the debt limit will be exceeded again and again while current taxpayers SS money is spent on other political giveaways to buy more votes is just accepted as business as usual for the socialists in DC.
And what really burns my ass is this. I and I bet you too did every thing I could to get the House back. And now Bitch McConnell stabs me in the back at the time he should validate my effort. I have been fooled time and again by the GOP. Only out of fear of the RATS. This is the last straw. But I am just one little vote.
