Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that Social Security should be be made “secure” while increasing benefits in an interview broadcast on Tuesday’s “Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC.

I wonder how she expects that to happen?

[Organic Panic]

WOW. So simple a solution.

[EagleUSA]

“..A democrat knows not the meaning of “solvent”...”

To a modern Democrat, SOLVENT means we were able to borrow enough money from China and steal enough from taxpayers to pay for whatever vote-buying, power-mongering, give-away program their twisted minds come up with.

[erod]

Yeah, let’s increase gov programs, and tax and spend our way to prosperity because that worked out so well for the last eight years!

[Cold Heart]

I didn’t get a reply on another thread, so I’m getting more suspicious.

Has anyone seen Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill in the same room at the same time?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I wonder how she expects that to happen?

1) Extend the FICA tax to all levels of income, above the current $113K (i.e. soak those EEEEEEVIL rich)

2) A Tobin Tax (per-transaction tax on Wall Street)

Both would be met by 70+% approval in polling and wild applause by the low-infos. Republicans would, of course, cave.

“Warren didn’t specify how she would accomplish this during the interview, “

Let me guess, we need to confiscate IRA’s and 401K’s!

[MHGinTN]

No, to the democrap mind, solvent means there is an IOU entered into the records, somewhere, never to be confronted again.

[sten]

it would be solvent... if the democrats hadn’t looted the fund and pushed it into the general fund.

how about holding accountable those that did it?

Paleface Lizzy is 65. She’s the youthful face of the Democrat Party.

Come on college students! Vote for wrinkles!

[Kickass Conservative]

They only needed to ask one word, HOW?

[mulligan]

Another 100% idiot.

[V K Lee]

Solvent - used to clean and strip
As it does form a solution (liquid), she believes she has an answer. After all, Bill’s Hill is now in the cleaning business. Lizie learning at Hill’s knees.

“we need to make sure that Social Security is secure into the future and expand the benefits.”

Warren didn’t specify how she would accomplish this

just have the Fed create more money out of thin air.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

There has never been anything to dip into. Social Security taxes were never invested in assets, they were invested in ^{US government} debt

. . . which means that if the Social Security administrator runs out of $$ and tries to cash one of the “safe government bonds," the money to redeem those bonds has to come directly from the U.S. Treasury - which would then have to borrow the money — exactly as if the “trust fund” did not exist at all.

[DPMD]

Warren is saying that SS is insolvent. That might not endear her to those who wish us to believe there is a social security fund somewhere, and maybe even in a magic lockbox. It might be useful to ask her why she thinks the “fund” is insolvent.

[Biggirl]

.....Called printing more money.

[LMAO]

You said...
“no she means “secure” as in a buzz word focus group led advisors told her to use because it scored well. Means absolutely nothing to her except for a word’

Exactamundo!!!

This is just a focus group tested phrase. Mathematically speaking, she knows this is bullsquat

[Lorianne]

If she promises me a pony I’m voting for her!

[ridesthemiles]

She must be using that NEW MATH & then using Common Core instruction to perform the answers.
