He is right.

Look at those who scream on FR when SS comes up. There are very few who will say “I will take care of mine and myself”.

Perry ended his chances when he spoke out about SS. No one really wants to address the problem, or the fact that they have to start being responsible for themselves. Same with Fedgov pensions.

I have come to realize that it will take a complete collapse to change things.

Please report how his poll numbers have trended with respect to the time he made his SS statement.

I’ll take care of mine and myself, because there’s no way on God’s green Earth SS or anything like it will survive the 18 years until I’m eligible to collect.

To everyone who’s collecting right now, enjoy my money while it lasts.

Well he is doing well in the primary polls and even vs. Obama.

What he has to do is come up with a plan, like Bush’s, but sell it better than Dubya did.

Such as you are doing here? Sorry but Preemptive Surrender is not a viable political strategy.

Perry has pointed out the problem, so have others. But when has he proposed a solution?

I'm afraid that you're right. I see European-style riots coming. When, I don't know.

Glad you have resigned yourself to being a slave of the federal government and don’t want to handle the truth.

Good luck with that.

I’d rather beg in the streets at 70 than rely on Social “Security” like so many morons that can’t think or do for themselves.
