1. You can't have it Wall Street!!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!

2. Dead on!

The only thing I would like to see Dennis add is regulations that would prohibit Congress or the Administration from borrowing from Social Security. Otherwise, he is so right! GOD I hope he runs as an independent!

4. Hillary Clinton...We don't need any stinking bipartisan commission on S.S.

She is so right leaning that should hookup with Lieberman.

5. more videos like this

DK works best like this,. just in conversation, when he has his thoughts in order and is not being pestered by a moderator. There should be more videos like this on more issues!

Strength Through PEACE!

6. Yes! "Social Security is rock solid through the year 2040 without

any changes whatsoever..."

It is so important to have the date of 2040 mentioned instead of the earlier date of 2017 when SS will need to start drawing from the Trust Fund.

SS is not the problem! Thanks Dennis!

And thanks for posting K&R.

7. Does ANYONE remember WHY we have social security?

It's because Wall Street CRASHED. Wall Street is the PROBLEM, not the SOLUTION.

9. Excellent point

That's an excellent point. I wish Dennis had pointed that out.

8. Only Dennis

Only Dennis has the pedestal of truth to stand on. Right about the war, right about the environment, right about healthcare, right about trade, right about Social Security. Hold on to your wallets, America, don't elect Fortune 500 politicians, hedge funds and lobbyist. Vote for a changing of the guard, vote for Dennis Kucinich because he is right, because he is real.

10. NO bipartisan commission. NO PRIVATIZATION! n/t

[whistle]

11. Exactly! Again Dennis Kucinich lays out the facts clearly and understandably

...BushCo and the republican controlled congress looted the Social Security Trust Fund surplus for six years and they will pay those IOUs back. Next, a democratic president and democratically controlled congress has to provide for the general welfare as it says in the U.S. constitution and put people back to work and move the economy to full employment. Thus more people working means more money feeding into Social Security. Lastly, if more money is needed after all those measures, then raise the Social Security cap from the present $90,000 to a level which is needed or eliminate the cap altogether.

Bush is so full of shit on Social Security!

12. Right on DK - I am disgusted that main stream media has decided that

Kucinich should not be heard - what right have they to decide who the electorate listens to. I guess when you have a system run by big corporate money, that is what we should expect.
