because the democrats would rather have the country run big debts than correct soc sec under republican adm

I don't think that's fair. There is a legitimate difference of opinion over social security. The Dems don't want to move towards privatization. I don't agree with them but I have to recognize that as a legitimamte POV. Had Bush moved to reform social security some other way, you don't know that they would have blocked it. Further, privatization wasn't very popular with more than just Dems. Social security is a very popular program across the board and doing anything that appears to weaken it will get honest resistance. Privatization makes it less reliable. Lots of people want to keep the guarantee.
