Well, here we go. Social Security is going broke, right? Borrow, take and use something that belongs to someone else with the intention of returning it. Now, who would do this despicable thing? Well, folks, it’s our government!
They can squander our Social Security money (borrow) and they haven’t even tried to pay it back, or won’t try. So, the big snivel is Social Security is going broke, so all you politicians are in reality thieves, right? Pure as it is, you politicians are thieves. And you want us serfs to give you more money.
I ask you all, what is going on in this great country that allows thieves to run it?

Um….elections?
Bill LaCroix says
Actually, it’s the money (Citizens United) in the elections that’s tanking SS and the repubs are the ones pandering most vociferously in the service of their corporate masters:
“They tax you here and they tax you there
then they call for tax relief.
We’ll throw the bum in prison
then elect ourselves a thief.
Too late to run when the devil come
too late once he’s there
And say I think I see some horns
A-pokin’ up through your hair.”
Old folk song, author unknown. Maybe us old hippies and all the old bubbas wondering what the h… is going on have something in common?
Mike Miller says
It’s the fault of Citizens United, you say. Really? Then why has SS been in trouble for much longer than CU has been around?
