Social Security, what Social Security? (GOP can't destroy something that isn't there)

Social Security, what Social Security?

The Sunday, August 15, 2010, edition of the Herald Democrat, headlines read, "Obama claims GOP trying to destroy Social Security."

There's no secret that Social Security is already destroyed.

For more than two thirds of the 75 years of the Social Security Administration's life, it has been under the control of the Democratic controlled administrations.

The so called "Social Security's lock box" was robbed in 1962 by President Lyndon B. Johnson and his administration. They took their "private key" and unlocked the sacred "locked box" of the Social Security "trust" funds. They transferred "trillions of Social Security dollars" to the "Nation's General Fund." (You may check the Internet for further informational history on the "LBJ administration's grand larceny.") During the cut-and-run-nine-years-war-in-Vietnam, the worker's of America's Social Security Trust Fund was robbed to buy airplanes, tanks, bombs and ammunition while bank-rolling nine years of that war."

Continuing today, if a penny becomes surplus in the Social Security Administration's coffers, it is quickly gobbled up and spent on "ear marks to any and every appropriations bill known or unknown by man. The stealing by preceding administrations as well as the present one continues even under President Barack Hussein Obama's regime.

I am sure that if each and every Social Security account holder across American were allowed to decide on privatizing his or her own Social Security contributions under their control, they would be better stewards of their accounts than the bureaucrats. Having their own key to their own locked box would assure security.

There's no doubt that the Democratic majority would like nothing better than to retain the key to the so-called locked box and all of the worthless I.O.U.'s amounting to many trillions of we the worker's dollars robbed by elected, appointed and hired public servants since 1935!

Let us remember Social Security's "past-mass-rip-off" when you vote in November!

Someone FINALLY understands a bankrupt Ponzi scheme. Madoff is still a rookie.

Dr. Walter E. Williams, Professor of Economics at George Mason University, filled in for the Maha on Tuesday. If you missed it, you missed it.

"We can solve the Social Security crisis. Just raise the retirement age to 85. Or you can raise taxes. Problem solved!" -Dr. Williams

Obama: GOP trying to destroy Social Security

Let us remember ... when you vote

We are SO past "voting" and the corruption isn't funny.

It's way beyond "voting" now.

"But just keep voting and all will be well, why, we'll all have pie in the sky!"

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

The so called "Social Security's lock box" was robbed in 1962 by President Lyndon B. Johnson and his administration.

In 1962 Lyndon Johnson was still VP and the President was John F. Kennedy.

Lyndon Johnson (assisted by FBI Director J Edgar Hoover) didn't kill Kennedy until Nov. 22, 1963. In 1964 Johnson and Hoover were very busy conning America and the Warren Commission into buying the biggest lie in history.

Social Security never should have been created in the first place.

Your retirement is your own business not the Federal Government’s. The wages of younger workers should never be garnished so that they can be given to non-productive seniors who take it at 62 or 65 and continue to live on it until they die in their 90’s.

And also our largest welfare program SSI (Supplemental Security Income) needs to be abolished or drastically reformed. 8 million Americans (the vast majority under the age of 65) are living basically for free off this abomination of the welfare state. If someone is on SSI they automatically get Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Section 8 Housing regardless of work history. It is more liberal than the former program Aid to Families with Dependant Children that caused so much outcry.

The Democrats can cry and scream all they want about protecting Social Security but the program is and always was unsustainable and drastic reform is needed.

Here is what was said about Social Security program back in 1964, during the LBJ admin.

http://www.ssa.gov/history/ssa/usa1964-2.html

Self-Supporting

“The program is designed so that contributions plus interest on the investments of the social security trust funds will be sufficient to meet all of the costs of benefits and administration, now and into the indefinite future—without any subsidy from the general funds of the Government. Both the Congress and the Executive Branch, regardless of political party in power, have scrupulously provided in advance for full financing of all liberalizations in the program.”

And here is wher your money goes!

Try looking up the JFK assassination on Youtube. There's plenty of new info out there.
