Because the SS Trust Fund has absolutely no impact what so ever on the national debt and is not part of the federal budget, I think it's great our President wants to cut something we've all worked all of our lives to get in our golden retirement years.

They want us to work until 70 and throw people over forty out of the work force and end their careers.

The POWERS THAT BE ARE CERTAINLY GOING FULL TILT MEDIEVAL ON OUR ASSES, aren't they?

And I, as a full blown corporate serf, would at least like to know which Lord within the PTB is assigned to my slavery district. Isn't this still a constitutionally protected right?
