Reply #6: That's only true if the fund is raided. There is enough money in the [View All]

fund right now, for the OP's children and for people who are now contributing. The fund has been used as a piggy bank for wars and bailouts for Wall St. Gamblers, and what's happening now is they do not want to have to pay it back.

Anyone who helps them get away with NOT paying it back, cannot call themselves a Democrat.

There are many ways to get that money paid. One is, was I should say, to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. Those ten years of tax cuts cost this country more than 2 trillion dollars. Two more years of them, with no strings attached, such as creating jobs eg, will only add to the deficit.

Creating jobs is the single most important way to ensure that SS will survive well into the future WITH a surplus.

Raising the cap on SS is another way. Why this is so difficult to do, is a mystery.

They want us to think that there will be no SS for us, but that is NOT true, it is a rightwing lie.

The ONLY way that will happen is if WE let them do it.

They've been using that scare tactic for decades, and it has yet to come true. Because there was the Democratic Party to protect it.

It is up to Demcorats again, to fight off Republicans who are doing what they've always done, unsuccessfully.
