Let’s Save Social Security

The Democratic Party here in the US needs to do something to show positive impact. We weren’t exactly bowled over by the leadership shown during the last national election.

How about using the President’s agenda? He’s prioritizing Social Security right now. What if the Dems came up with a better proposal? What if the Dems showed some leadership and creative problem solving? Think that might win some voters back?

Here’s the out-of-the-box idea for today: Save Social Security by spending the trust fund money ONLY on Social Security recipients.

Oh, my gawd. Totally awesome. Do they really spend money out of the Social Security trust fund on other things?

I have reliable information that “they” do. All those Representatives, Senators, and the President. They’re using trust fund money to pay employees of the National Park Service. And lots of other federal agencies use trust fund money.

My challenge to the leaders of the Democratic Party: Make a law that the Social Security trust fund can be used ONLY for paying Social Security recipients.
