FDR did a wonderful thing creating SS.

That is disputable.

I don't understand why don't we hear more of this (below)? So many know this, but it is hardly ever said. Every time a politician refers to the "Social Security Fund" I want to cringe.

From the Freedom Keys site:IMHO lots of good talking points on there.

"Many people are unaware that the money that is taken out of their paychecks for Social Security is not -- repeat, not -- being put aside to pay for their retirement. That money is paying for people who are retired right now, and anything that is left over is being spent by politicians in Washington for anything from farm subsidies to Congressional junkets. ... Liberals are desperate to keep Social Security the way it is, because that means they can keep spending your money as they see fit and keep you dependent on them. That's what the welfare state is all about." -- Thomas Sowell...
