Steve PPPPLLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"That's an outrage, truly a scandal. Saying SS is broke to cover for gross fiscal mismanagement from the Republicans is as bad as it gets. They should be ashamed yet somehow i suspect they're proud."

Republicans? Yup - Steve it is only Republicans who spent the SS money - is that right? Have missed something in history? Tell, how would you have dealt with the recession and the economic impact of 9/11 - would you have raised taxes?

And---

"Yes i think that payroll taxes are too high, obscenely so. Something like 75% of workers pay more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes. The tax burden has been shifting from the top to the bottom and middle. That needs to be reversed."

That would be the end of any pay as you go SS fantasy!

Let's see how many Dems want to vote against the farm bill, and the highway bill. What we have is collective pillage of the treasury.
