What's the Current GOP manufactured debt Crisis? Social Security Reform

[M Kitt]

6. Thanks Sabrina, for the comment.

You're right that they want to dismantle SS, "privatization" is really just another way to get their hands on the surplus (in the range of 2.5 trillion) in our government account.

Bernie Sanders has followed this issue closely.

As I've stated elsewhere:

Contrived "Economic Crisis" conditions are a GOP specialty, especially concerning Social Security, which as most of us are aware is actually fully funded.

Denial of funding is their primary goal, of course, their "modus operandi". Applies to proposed stimulus programs and funding for infrastructure as well.

Further:

Even if I hadn't contributed to the system across the years and didn't consider that investment to be at risk, why would watching the current GOP proposed "Attrition" policies NOT be disturbing to any sane human being?

They're scavengers of the worst sort who consider conditions of current economic instability to be an opportunity, not only to further enrich themselves at our expense but to politically smother and devastate all potential middle class opposition to their policies.

Accomplished thru theft and decimation of our legacy "Safety Net" holdings, by controlling legislation (and attendant positions of power) that could otherwise have prevented that theft.

Which is in keeping with their complete disregard for the environment, actually. They apparently could care less about generations to come, they're only interested in short term profit at the expense of the rest of us.

Again, thanks.
