2. They can't
They don't get it's a safety net for those with no pension or problems with pension. There was one man from Enron who had a 401k and investments totaling over 1 million dollars and he lost it all. Now all he has is his social security check, if he didn't have that he'd be lost. Nancy Grace had him on and she was really, really angry.

6. They get it. But they truly just don't give a damn.
It's hard for us to get into a mind that says, "I've got mine, fuck you." But that's what these bastards are all about. They aren't our "leaders." They are our enemies. And they are the enemy of democracy, decency and conscience.

This whole damn thing is not going to end well.

Social Security "crisis" over.

4. Well they want it privatized of course.
They get a hard-on thinking about all our money they could steal if SS gets privatized and put into the stock market.
