Well no matter who you support or vote for, all we can hope is they do something constructive to help the country and it's people for a change. It's crazy how one side is always wanting to go after Social Security. Granted both sides did their fair share of raiding it, but only one side wants to do away with it as it now stands. It was set up to be a self sustaining benefit. And if the politicians, the very ones who now want to dismantle it, had of left it alone in the first place and not skimmed billions out of it for their pet projects, starting with using it to support the Vietnam war, it would be in great shape. But those greedy politicians could not stand it to see this fund with trillions of dollars sitting their untouched. So they raided the SS lock box and now that they never paid any back in, they want the American public, retirees and future retirees to bear the cost and burden. If life were fair we would go after every one of the politicians involved in raiding the ss trust and force them to put their own money into it. And since all those politicians are millionaire and billionaires it would go a long way in shoring up the fund. IMO These guys lie cheat and steal from the American Public and we keep re electing them to office. We need some sort of honor and integrity restored to those offices. But I don't see that happening any time soon. Anyone worth their salt who wants to go and run for an office of House or Senate, that has honor and integrity is chased out by the good ole boy network as they spread and create lies about the honest ones to where they won't run for any office and we get stuck with what is left over. Not only that but now there is big money backing those who only take care of those who get them elected. So in return they make and pass bills and laws favorable to those who elected them instead of laws and bills that would help the country or the majority of it's people. Am I wrong here?
