Social Security Overhaul

Why does George and his Republican friends want to destroy Social Security?
1. It Works
2. It is a program that gives working class Americans a chance to live with dignity in retirement.
3. It supports disabled Americans and we all know they are just not productive enough for Republicans.
4. Their Wall Street friends ask them.
5. It gives wealthy Americans more control and allows greed to rule the day.
6. Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed

These are only a few of the reasons. George would tell you it is because he is a problem solver. Well he has not fixed Medicare only made it worse with the pharmacy benefit that is about to go into affect. It was a give away to drug manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers with no hopes of actually controlling drug cost. Why must we as young Americans subsidize our grandparents sex life. Yes that is right the Medicare Part D plan will pay for Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. This is how George solves problems.

Lets go on a sixty city tour of America at tax payers expense to explain that Social Security will begin to use its surplus in 2018. We will not address the fact that Medicare is already running deficits. If he really wanted to address the solvency issue and feels the stock market is the answer then invest the surplus in the stock market. Oh we can't do that for a couple of reasons.
1. Wall Street would not benefits nearly as much. Imagine if the government invested the money there would be no broker fees collected.
2. It would mean that Clinton was right when he suggested it and we all know he was a terrible president.

I am tired of expounding for now; I will see you in a couple of days.
