balance the budget? when have the republicans EVER balanced the budget? sure they can get a quick pop for thier rich buddies, but they royally screw everyone else over 2 years later.
Serious question.
Social Security:
Republicans(all of them, including tea party)-really do want to eliminate social security. Sure they say its gone, or that its huge spending. Of course, they leave out the fact that its a program that you pay into, thats gaurenteed to be returned to you...
