Mj Comment:

Of course Seniors, those over 50, are being hit. Obamacare is the first step to socialism-----he now wants to go for the whole Democracy and our monetary system. Oh yes, the rag of a Constitution that he doesn't like.

Not only will the Seniors be hurt, their families will be hurt also------how can one trust the party of Socialist Democrats to remedy a system they created----------fact is you can't. Throw the bums out beginning now with the local and state levels. Congress next year. Note Obama's comments according to the article under discussion----

According to Obama and Biggs:

Social Security is also facing long-term financial problems. The retirement program is projected to start paying out more money than it receives in 2016. Without changes, the retirement fund will be depleted in 2037, according to the Social Security trustees' annual report this year.

President Barack Obama has said he would like tackle Social Security next year, after Congress finishes work on health care, climate change and new financial regulations.

Lawmakers are preoccupied by health care, making it difficult to address other tough issues. Advocates for older people hope their efforts will get a boost in October, when the Social Security Administration officially announces that there will not be an increase in benefits next year."

Back to Mj Comment:

Let's focus on that------when have we, you and I, heard that scare tactic before-----it was there when my now deceased mother retired------this line has been used to perpetrate a myth to keep people voting for the Socialist Democrats.

I ask who are the Social Security trustees? Why should we believe their projections?

Who are these folks who have been saying and scaring people for decades about the Social Security going to be broke--------notice the the time line is now extended to 2037.

Of course there will be no increase for Seniors on SS---------Obama has to pay for the carbon stuff and Soros and the stimulus packages and the cash for klunkers and of course stop the sun from warming the planet and volcanos from exploding ad infinitum.

This is Obama's Socialism and the Democrat Party's Socialism. This is Voodoo economics.
