Social security is not a ‘pet program.’

It’s a system instituted by the government and forced on us.

A large percentage of senior citizens depend on their social security for basic living.

Perhaps it should have been changed years ago, but it wasn’t. You saw what happened to George W. Bush when he tried social security reform.

People are amenable to reform now and it can happen if a sensible, compassionate (sorry about the word—I know it offends some of you) plan is proposed.

Thank you, you just admitted it....

It's government socialism.... BIG GOVERNMENT .

It's a government TAX program no matter how you look at it.
They take from the many and give to the few,, and they give you what THEY deem what you should get.
When government is running it ? It's NOT a retirement program.
It's just like unemployment with another name, just like welfare..
