Budget ax-man Rep. Paul Ryan is Senate Democrats' new villain
By Alexander Bolton - 01/24/11 08:44 PM ET

Senate Democrats are pouncing on Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) role in delivering the Republican response to the State of the Union address to make the case that Republicans are intent on destroying Social Security and Medicare.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the master political strategist for Senate Democrats, wants to turn Ryan into a bogeyman that voters think about whenever they hear about a Republican proposal to cut federal spending.

Schumer's strategy reflects an effort to revitalize a party messaging operation that many Democrats say fell apart after Obama won the White House.

 

I haven't seen Ryun's plans , but something has to be done. I'm certainly willing to listen.

Democrats only solution is a tax increase and decreasing benefits. Above all, they want to maximize the amount of money taken in so they can continue to write worthless IOUs in order to keep spending it.

 

I don't know about the "shiestering" of the public, but there is no doubt he intended for the program to grow and expand.

From FDR's 1937 SOT address:

There is also no doubt the present system is a trainwreck waiting to happen:

The problem is there is no money to redeem "trust fund assets". It's gone.

Social Security posting $600B deficit over 10years

WASHINGTON – Social Security will post nearly $600 billion in deficits over the next decade as the economy struggles to recover and millions of baby boomers stand at the brink of retirement, according to new congressional projections.

This year alone, Social Security is projected to collect $45 billion less in payroll taxes than it pays out in retirement, disability and survivor benefits, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. That figure swells to $130 billion when a new one-year cut in payroll taxes is included, though Congress has promised to repay any lost revenue from the tax cut. (another lie...repay with what???)

Last year, Social Security posted its first deficit since the program was last overhauled in the 1980s.

 

When liberals talk about social security and "tweeking", they only mean one thing...

tax increase or benefit decrease.

It would serve you right if the system totally caved just when you epect to receive benefits. But it won't it'll be long before that without a major overhaul.
