"Extending" Social Security to 75 years? What does that mean? You can apply for Social Security at 62 today. Two hundred bucks? Is he kidding?
We fell for that 'pull my finger' once already under Reagan.Funding it so that benefits are covered for the next 75 years.
Is that a joke? There is no Social Security locked box. The government started stealing FICA money the day after they passed the law. LBJ made it "legal" when he authorized FICA taxes to be placed in the general fund. Two hundred bucks in benefits? You can't get a meal in a decent restaurant for $200. It's more desperate political posturing from a socialist who ain't got a freaking clue about the real world.Funding it so that benefits are covered for the next 75 years.
The fact is congress stole and spent OUR SS money and have no way of paying us back. Now we are fucked. Nothing but schemes out of congress on how to screw us out of the benefits we were forced to pay for, MF'ers.
How did they steal it?

It's the trick Clinton and Gingrich used to pretend they balanced the budget. Yes, it was simple numbers moving but on paper it left a big hole in S.S.
How did the trick work?
$31 trillion in debt and growing.
Another round of tax cuts for the billionaires will solve that problem.$31 trillion in debt and growing.
But how did the trick work?
How did they steal from SS?

They took it, spent it and gave us worthless IOU's. I'm old enough to remember those assholes (cough) borrowing and spending our SS money. Reagan intended that SS increase contribution money to be set aside to pay future benefits when the boomers retired. Fuckers in congress instead stole the money, spent it and now have no means of paying us back.How did they steal it?
