Good point.

Also one thing people have to understand. Social Security really isn’t going bankrupt. What is...is that politicians have spent that money already on consummables to buy votes.

Had they never went to the IOU SS would be solvent for generations; however, they are spending the money as fast as it comes in and passing the burden to our grand kids.

I’m not a fan of SS; however, let’s put blame where it deserves to be put—politicians buying votes and voters screwing their grandkids over for freebies.

Also if we don’t have SS, you know the liberals would not let grandma starve and freeze to death...so they’d just raise our taxes to pay for her via welfare. As much as I don’t like it, SS is kind of a lessor of two evils. Until we as a population are willing to let grandma freeze to death it’s either we all pay for grandma or we make grandma save some of her money via SS (or some other mandated program).

Once again the BIGGEST problem with SS is the federal government can spend the money on non-SS items.

Abortion is the reason that SS is in the red.

We’re missing close to 60 million working age citizens that were sacrificed to the infant murder industry.
