That's a shame.
A big, steaming cooked-up crock of shit from this supposedly "Independent" source wringing his hands over the potential of Obama getting buggered by these nasty veteran hating Republicans. I guess this from an independent makes Obama's lies true, huh?

Yeah. Let’s quote a Marxist-du-jour and paste it up as some kind of news, shall we?
We’re ‘entitling’ our way to anarchy.
Just as planned.
The real problem is the expanded eligibility of SS recipients. Lots of folks getting on the program that never ‘contributed’ a dime or very little.
IMO the first qualifier should be US citizenship.
He’s pretty determined to keep the retiree life savings he stole through “Quantitative Easing.”
Eliminate S.S.I. Eliminate E.I.T.C. Huge savings.
Social Security would work if it was on simple basics. I put in 6.2% my employer puts in 6.2% and when you retire you get a lump sum tax free of whatever was put away over the course of your lifetime of work.
That’s it and what you do with it is up to you.
That’s a shame? To cut benefits to disabled vets and people who PAID FOR THEIR “entitlements.”
And this is what turns people off from the Conservative movement.
You want to complain, complain about Egypt, Palestine and corporate welfare. Not this.
Better idea. Set a date certain, at that date, new enrollments into SS cease forever. At that date, those receiving benefits will continue through the end of their lives. At that date, those still enrolled but not receiving benefits will begin receiving a tax benefit equal to what the would have paid until they reach a zero balance.

When “O” first got into office he tried to pass a law that all injured military had to pay for their own medical care.
Congress shot that down big time.
It looks like he is at it again. Demoralizing the military makes us ripe for the Hitler mentality type
Sorry, retired citizens, we have to pay for contraceptives for Sandra Fluke and sex-change operations for illegal aliens!
Can someone please tell me why Social Security can’t go back to its original purpose - to help senior citizens who have retired and who have paid into the system their whole lives? As it is today, everyone and her uncle is eligible to receive SS benefits! I happened to be in a SS office recently and the place was PACKED with young people, children, middle aged folk, and some older people. Also, I saw interpreters from all over the world sitting there with their clients. What a messed up mess!!!! Our hard-earned tax money is being squandered!!!!
Don’t let liberals change the dialogue. SS is a TRUST FUND, NOT AN ENTITLEMENT. It is paid into by workers and their employers match the amount they pay in.
Entitlement? Try Medicaid, which Obama has advanced by stealing from Medicare. That is an entitlement.
Whenever a D or R spouts SS as an entitlement, we need to straighten them out on the subject.
We need a photoshop of Obama pushing Granny over a cliff...
LOL
Socialists will do whatever they want with their socialist constructs, up to and including death panels. When you’re FORCED into the marxist matrix, there’s not much you can do about it.
DISMANTLE socialist schemes. DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.

That’s it go after the seniors for their SS and medicare. Meanwhile subsidize the food stampers, the section 8’ers, the millions with free cell phones, practically unlimited unemployment benefits, the many phonies on disability insurance, the Obama vacataions, millions spent by Biden for a few nights on the town, millions spent by Obama to support an escort army while traveling around the world, and last but not least the billions in foreign aid to enemies and the ungodly pork given to legislative districts.

This thread is a perfect example of why ObamaCare is the death knell of our way of life. Once the “free” medical care is ingrained in our society much like Social Security anyone who suggests eliminating it will be attacked by people who call themselves staunch conservatives. They paid into the system. They deserve to get theirs back. They think it can be “fixed.” Soon the Secretary of HHS will vault far above SecDef and SecState as by far the most powerful cabinet position.
