Good Liars Are Usually Smart, Which Explains Why Pelosi Is A Bad Liar

From The Hill

At an event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Social Security Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blasted Republicans for trying to privatize the fund, saying the change would have resulted in the trust fund incurring a massive loss because of the recent downturn in the stock market.

“Just five years ago, President Bush and his Republican allies pushed a risky plan to privatize and cut Social Security,” she said. “If they had succeeded, seniors would have lost trillions more in the financial crisis. At the time, Democrats and the American people said ‘no.’ And no one lost a penny in Social Security, even as America’s households lost more than $17 trillion in wealth.”

Idiot. Seniors wouldn’t have been at risk at all. The plan was to phase it in with new workers. The seniors had nothing at all to worry about. But, nice try, imbecile.

And what have I lost with my payments into social security? Probably all of it, because you scumsuckers didn’t keep it in any “lock box” like was promised. I just know I am going to be screwed, along with everyone else my age. So, I should fear the private sector, why?
