When the cookie jar is empty, you look for the kid with crumbs on his face....

Social Security is not broken, it's just been robbed. And we're being told to believe the thieves who gutted the system and took the money when they tell us it's not working? Bryan of Why Now? says it best:
How many times do these people have to be told that the only problem with Social Security is that the Repubs have been raiding the trust fund to give their friends and supporters tax breaks, and now they are going to be forced to pay it back. The money has been paid by the people who will receive the benefits and Congress has to put back what they have taken. The Repubs have been looting the trust fund to drive the system under and they need to be called on it, not supported in their alibis by Dems.
The Republicans never met a savings account they didn't want to drain. The money they've partied with belongs to the millions of hard working Americans who worked 9 to 5 for fifty years and paid into the system, expecting it to be there when they retired.

We want our money back.
