Social Security "problem" is easy to "fix".

[SoCalDem]

Remember the huge "surplus" we had in the 90's? That was a result of the combined budget magic.. EXCESS social security money derived from near full-employment for nearly a decade, with many "contributions" coming from Boomers at or near their peak-earnings, generated a big surplus in SOCIAL SECURITY...NOT INCOME TAXES..

*² was a big fat liar when he kept chanting.. "it's YOUR money, and we're gonna give it back".. What he did was to give the "extra" social security money from the "least of us" (under 90K) and move it on up, disguised as a "tax cut" to the Rich Folks.....

The reason we even HAD the surplus SS, was because we have ALL been paying extra since the 80's so that when the Boomers retired, there would be plenty to take care of us, without "burdening" the next generation.. The money was THERE...and *² gave it to his rich pals...and bought off some poor folks with $300, that they had to claim as INCOME the following tax year..

All that has to be done, is for the rich folks to GIVE OUR SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY BACK...:evilgrin:
