Obama: GOP trying to destroy Social Security

Associated Press ^ | 8-14-10 | Erica Werner

[April Lexington]

After paying all of these taxes, we’ll all be on food stamps!

[Kickass Conservative]

SOS, different day. Obama is dusting off the old “scare grandma” playbook.

Since my Wife and I have put in over $400,000 to support the Social Security / Medicare Ponzi scheme, I wonder of Obummer will guarantee that we get our money back with Interest?

Having battled Leukemia for the past five years, I seriously think I won't see a dime. In Obamaland, that is exactly what they are banking on.

“What the he!! is there left to destroy??”

Hell, I wonder if these idiots living on unemployment realize that they are not putting up points for SS on retirement. Oh, they are retired.

[Uncle Miltie]

Social Security is broke THIS YEAR, on your watch, 0BAMBI!

[upchuck]

Is election time getting near?

Then it’s time for the RATS to start shouting and yelling and weeping and wailing how the Republicans are gonna steal your Medicare and take away your Social Security. Time to scare the Seniors.

This old saw no longer has teeth.

For all his hipness and being so upscale, I figured nobama would come up with something at least a little original.

[xzins]

obama....your idea is to force social security into solvency through your health care “death panels” non-treatment of seniors (and the chronically infirm).

You just don’t have the balls to admit it.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Have these leftist aholes not caught on to the fact that America knows they are “Projecting?”

It’s pathetic at this point.

[hal ogen]

I think nobama meant to say that they should build a mosque IN the Social Security Administration headquarters. No...maybe he meant to say that everyone should be ordered to buy a Volt and also build a mosque in their living room. Yea...that’s it.

[Cheerio]

Social Security Is Bankrupt Now, Not In 25 Years

But but but..........SENATOR HARRY REID: “People have to stop badmouthing social security. Social security according to CBO, according to the general accounting office, is ok for the next 40 years. And even after that, people will draw 80 or 85 percent of the benefits if we do nothing. So I think we should just stop frightening people about how bad of shape social security is in.” (“Face To Face With Jon Ralston,” 7/9/10)

How can anyone with even half a brain be a DemocRAT?

[tflabo]

Oh...is that right OBaalMao! Just like the way Republicans destroyed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Well nothing a few more tax hikes can’t cure! Or let the grandkids deal with it!

[airborne]

I figured that with the elections approaching, the Dems would drag this issue out of moth balls again.

Seems the only time they mention it is around election time, and then only to buy votes and blame Republicans.

Somehow I don't think it's going to work out like it usually did.

“but today we’re going to talk about Social Security. It’s an issue that some are saying, why would you want to talk about Social Security, it’s a tough political issue. I believe, John believes, people here believe that now is the time to confront a problem, not to pass it on to future Presidents and future Congresses. I mean, if you see a problem, I believe it is incumbent upon a leader to confront that problem”....Pres GW Bush—3/21/2005

Maybe I’m wrong but I think this is the first time Obama has acknowledged the POSSIBILITY of the GOP re-gaining the House. If his internals are that bad then Nov will be sweet indeed!

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Put the money away and let it draw interest. Then the government won’t have to subsidize a fund, or more like it, steal from it.

The govt. will surely steal some of it via taxes sooner or later unless you go underground.

Are you thinking of a tax deferred retirement option, somethink like a 401K? It's hard to keep the govt. away from it as things are now.

I wrote in my previous post:

the megabanks are not to be trusted with retirement money

I should have added, don't trust the govt. either, but that is pretty obvious.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I hope so. It ain’t over till it’s over.

[REDWOOD99]

There’s a lot of hard work ahead. But look at the positives- We don’t need a strong leader for this election-Theirs SUCKS! The “Tea Party” surge keeps surging. There is NOTHING short of a miracle that will stop the dems from completely melting down from INSIDE. They did this to themselves and can’t stop.

And then a hell of a lot of retirees lost half of their retirement funds in 2008-2009. That crash made it a lot more difficult politically to let us manage our own SS funds, in spite of the fact that it is a govt. run scam.

[Brown Deer]

I won't even ask you to name your actual father.

The one he dreams about that never wanted him?

[stephenjohnbanker]

If you have money, put it in rental properties with at least 30% down, preferably 50%.

Anyone who trusts this current government is a jackass. Obama intends to wring the middle class dry. You can’t have a dictatorial government if there is a strong middle class. He needs serfs.

Income property can be had at bargain prices in many states, and we will never see interest rates like this again.

[nralife]

If Democrats are accusing the GOP of trying to destroy Social Security, you can be damn sure that that is exactly what the Democrats are trying to do.

Democrats ALWAYS accuse the other side of doing just exactly what they themselves do or have done. It's been a major play in their playbook now for a long time.
