1. The BS approach

Used by Billionaires who want your Social Security Trust fund money of over $2 TRILLION in their pockets.

3. By "BS approach," you mean...

"Bowles Simpson?"

2. Social Security does not add one dime to the deficit.

They are using the deficit "crisis" as an excuse to talk about the need to "reform" and "tweak" Social Security.

There is no immediate issue with Social Security it should not be talked about at all when the politicians are in a panic mode.

As far as the "balanced approached", he* can shove it.

Middle class (working class) families have already paid way more than their fair share over the last 12 years with loss of income, loss of home values, loss of the retirement savings, and by taking on new debt like student loans and auto loans.

The so called "balanced approach" is an attempt to squeeze more out of the middle class and poor by tweaking social benefits.

Screw that. It's time for the wealthy to contribute. Hands off the middle class and working poor.


*he = he who sells the balanced approach.
