TED CRUZ just screwed YOU out of your Social Security income...at least he did for me! I was getting widow benefits...but no more! Obama was happy to sign it!

Not defending Cruz here but no bills are passed in congress by one senator.

I should also be said that it has been a well-known fact that SS was destine to fail. I knew that SS would not be there for me when I started working 33 years ago. Knowing that I planned for retirement without SS. I got in to the company 401K as soon as I was able.

Anyone who wasn’t expecting moves like this was not paying attention.

Bush II warned that SS was in trouble and tried to reform SS in the first few months of his administration and could not get any support in congress.

SS has been broke for months and has been cashing in its fictitious Trust fund bonds to pay benefits. In other words SS is being paid out of the general fund. Putting it another way the Federal Government is borrowing money from China to pay SS recipients.

Face it folks the US government is BROKE and something has to be done about entitlements.
