I wouldn’t say its that toxic. My congressman called social security a ponzi scheme during the last election and he won.

Obviously something has to be done but it must be done carefully.

Didn’t your Congresscritter enter the race? Is it Thaddeus McCotter?

What do you think of the guy? I did get a kick out of his libspeak lesson in Congress.

It’s like a doctor convincing a patient that in order to survive, he must remove a limb, or administer poisonous levels of radiation or chemicals with terrible side effects.

A smart leader helps the voter understand that the system they fear losing is in danger of wholesale destruction, and they must accept some reforms in order to be able to rely on it.

“Don’t kill the golden goose.”

“We must rescue Social Security from decades of Congressional neglect and irresponsibility. That will mean some sacrifice from those who need it the least (younger would-be retirees and wealthy retirees) in order for it to be there for those who need it the most.”

I wonder what Perry thinks about the following.

Yeah it’s a ponzi scheme but only because Congress took the taxes of small business and working Americans (the kind that have earned income as opposed to investment) and redistributed it to hedge funders, mega rich, poor, illegals, railroad workers and those in government such as some in Congress, who never paid into SS.

It wasn’t my decision that politicians of both parties spread it around to others instead of lock boxing it to only those who paid, and I don’t accept it is an entitlement.

Perry is a globalist in sheep’s clothing. He overplays the conservative role to cover it up.
