Another BIG problem is we need to PAYBACK what the government has already stolen from Social Security.

Try to explain to someone the reason they have to wait until htey are 80 to get SS is because their granddad voted for people who stole from him.

We need to start calling it what it is...stealing form our grandkids. We need to do like the rats and put poor innocent babies on TV and say a vote to not reform Washington is a vote to kill this baby.

You are absolutely right. Way too many people—including a lot of conservatives—seem to think there is someone out there who will be able to pay back the trust fund so that they can get their full benefits without a massive tax increase on young adults in their 20s and 30s. I always tell those people that if they want to know who took that money, take a look in the family album at a picture of grandma and grandpa, or look at the headstones in the graveyard. There is no easy answer. Either cut Social Security and Medicare or raise taxes on young people who really didn’t create the mess and are probably not very well of economically.
