Suddenly Social Security is in the news. The Republicans are worried it will be out of money. I knew it had a surplus of 2.5 trillion and was supposed to be fully paid for the next 27 years and able to pay at least 78% after that.
Suddenly it's gone!
Is this where the money from the Bush 2.4 trillion dollar "tax cuts" came from? Bush and the Republicans simply moved the nations entire retirement fund into the pockets of the wealthy?
I thought they couldn't be any worse after working to move jobs overseas and blocking unemployment benefits for jobs they sent packing.
Please, someone, tell me how this is "wrong".
And please tell me, where did the 2.4 trillion dollars come from especially when fighting two wars costing 3 trillion.
I'm looking for answers and with John Boerner poised to become the next Majority Leader, a man who wants to throw SS to Wall Street, frankly, I suspect it may all be true.

John Boehner, minority leader for the Republicans in the House of Representatives, gave an interview to a Pittsburgh newspaper in which he seriously proposed raising the social security retirement age so that more funds can be appropriated for our losing War in Afghanistan. No, this is not some kind of obscene joke, Boehner was totally serious.
