The REAL Social Security Crisis

If you are a parent you have watched your kids about to do something really stupid that might get them hurt or hurt others. You fly to them in an attempt to alter their course to disaster.

This is how I feel about the Republicans continued monkeying around with Social Security. Now they have lame idea of using the existing Surplus in social security funds to put into private accounts invested in US treasury bills.

This is completely silly. 1: SS money is already covered by the government. The US Government is constitutionally liable to pay what is owed to recipiants. SS funds are just another general obligation. DUH! So why bother converting the general obligation debt of SS funds to the general obligation debt of treasury bills?

I think it has to be to get the public used to the idea of private accounts. They want to chip away at it. We should all rise up and kick the lot of these trouble maker SOB's out of there before the get themselves hurt.
