Your Daily Politics Video Blog: One of the most entertaining things about the 2008 campaign has been watching John McCain embrace all of President Bush's policies and word game flimflams. And there's no better example than Social Security where McCain has not only adopted President Bush's proposal to phase out Social Security and replace it with private investment accounts he's even adopted Bush's word game bamboozlement to try to trick voters into thinking he doesn't support the policy he actually does support. Those of us who are about to talk straight, Salute You!

  • Stand up 4 your RIGHTS Americans. The REPUBLICANS have been FOOLING YOU for the last 30 yrs. SOCIAL^SECURITY*,_ (SS) , is NOT an entitlement! SS HAS A $2.6 TRILLION SURPLUS. SS CAN pay every claim at least until 2030. SS DOES NOT increase the federal budget by one cent! Tell the REPUBLICAN GANGSTERS & THEIR WALLSTREET BANDIT FRIENDS that you will FIGHT any PRIVATIZATION OF your SS pension. You will FIGHT ANY REDUCTION IN BENEFITS. YOU will FIGHT any change in AGE REQUIREMENT FOR SS BENEFITS!

  • The fact is there shouldn't be social security. There are a lot of people that are relying solely on SS for their retirement. It was never intended for this but it's surprising how many dont have any other investments or money put back. It has given lower middle class folks a false sense of security. I have investments in the private sector, 401K, and the private sector didn't steal my money and spend it like gov has done with my SS that I paid in. So yeah I trust private more than government

  • but you trust private business not to rob you blind?

    can you name a SINGLE private industry that is not trying to swindle you of all your money?

  • india, israel, sweeden, iceland, france, ireland, malta, mexico, the netherlands, portugal, Sri lanka, great britan(in part)... etc.

    and of course the soviet union china etc.

  • We here at TPN believe the government should be allowed to steal as much as possible from the American people through the ponzi scheme known as Social Security

    What is your argument for Social Security? How can it possibly be better than privatization? How can SS continue?

  • Anyone that believes a ponzi scheme will work is an idiot

  • Who wouldn't want SS privatized? We damn sure cant trust the government to not steal.
