The Social Security "problem."

Commander Codpiece says that Social Security, the most successful program for helping seniors and more in the history of civilization, needs changing. Do the research and you will find that the problems facing Social Security beginning about 30-40 years out, are real but hardly insurmountable. Here are a few rhetorical examples to use the next time you find a conservative lout mouthing the GOPig talking points regarding Social Security.

The Bush Plan for changing Social Security would be like:

Buying a new lawn mower because it has a bad sparkplug.

Buying a new refrigerator because the light bulb burned out.

Buying a new car because it has a flat tire.

Buying a new cellphone because the battery died.

You get the picture. Remember this, the republican party has been against FDR's greatest program for bringing values into American society (as regards seniors, etc.) since before it was enacted and every single day since. We cannot let the loutish, selfish, venal and self serving barbarians on the right destroy Social Security.

Now, everyone, have a safe and Merry Christmas ( Ho, ho, ho!) and we will be back after the new year.
