Notice how the scum says "the lockbox has nothing but IOUs in it" and then avoids the obvious solution which SHOULD BE to pay them back. If anyone can't clearly see the hand of the 1% here, you are blind. Did you not catch the part about "privatize" which means they want to put that money into the same Wall Street frauds and crooks who screwed us over in the first place?

@MAINEPREPPER well put! It's hard to keep up sometimes with all the re-definitions that seem to be commonplace now more than ever in the media.

@Gmoneydog360 The Koch bros. are pouring millions into these "think tanks" and into Faux news to propagandize the "angry mob" (tea party). I will see people who are on SS and Medicaid at these TP rallies shouting about ending SS and Medicaid. Masterful bit of propaganda and brainwashing.

@birthdaynick80 The "conservatives" have turned the word entitlement into some sort of code word for stealing. When you work at your job, you are entitled to get your paycheck on payday. When you fulfill a contract on your end, you are entitled to see the person on the other end fulfill theirs. By cleverly associating the word endlessly with "welfare queens" and other anecdotes, the "conservatives" have twisted the word out of its original meaning. No worries, lets just call them SS Payments

@ProudConservative2 Here we go again, another anecdote spewing "conservative". Wow what a brilliant concept, punish everyone for the handful of anecdotes. This is like doing surgery with a hand grenade. How convenient of course that the idea has been introduced and pushed by the wealthiest 2% who do not need SS and would benefit mightily if it went away. That's right, eliminate it because somebody out there is taking advantage of it. BTW it's not broke, it's merely being robbed by those 2%.

Doesn't social security support the country? things like buisinesses and services? its not like these folks horde the money, they pretty much give it straight back to the economy that supplies it. Its the top 20 percent of americans that hold 85 percent of the countries wealth, with the top 1 percent holding about 30 - 35 percent, surely getting that money moving more freely within the economy will prop up the lower and middle classes, and give millions better standards of living.

Abolish The State! Including Thug Socialist Security, Medicare, Medicaid, The DOD, the Pentagon and every other coercive thug program.

The word in The Constitution is "promote," not "provide."

Words mean things, people.
