I saw Jim Demint say something on a Sunday network show last year that disturbed me.
He was asked about reforming SS to help control the growing deficit and he responded with the Democrat talking points exactly:”We don’t need to do ANYTHING to SS because it is fully funded for the next 50 years by the SS trust fund. It adds nothing to the deficit”
This is such a joke I just assume they keep up this lie until I am over 65 and then afterward they can figure out that hundreds of billions of debt is being run up to pay SS benefits and screw those younger than me who don’t even care enough to find out what that FICA tax is that they are paying for.
I don’t know what to make of the guy, he seems to be a pretty good and helpful conservative Senator, but there also seems to be much going on in there that doesn’t fit with the surface image.
