Eleven years late, Social Security is again a hot political topic.

And that was the plan all along. Year after year, election after election, RATS need to run on something that's broken. Just wait until the unconstitutional Commiecare™ kicks in.

20% cut across the board for all programs, even the military. After that it’ll be easier to find fat to trim.

RE :”Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), who is at the center of bipartisan talks, said he wants to prolong the solvency of Social Security to 75 years. Under its current setup, the program is projected to pay 100 percent of benefits for the next 26 years...Liberal Democrats were concerned over Conrad’s role in deficit reduction talks because, as a member of Obama’s fiscal commission, he voted for a plan to raise the Social Security retirement age and lower cost-of-living adjustments...“Social Security isn’t contributing to the deficit now,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.). “We need to be working to ensure the long-term survivability of Social Security but we’ve got a lot of other big budget challenges in the short term. “

Not this crap again!

First thing there is NO SS trust fund now, current benefits are paid by the treasury issuing new debt. The above is a lie. Where are the honest brave Republicans to tell the truth? never mind.

Second, no more collecting SS surpluses (if that was even possible) as we know they will just spend them. Given that they just cut FICA taxes without cutting benefits, the whole idea of SS solvency is a joke.
