The Real News Debate: Social Security on the Table

[fasttense]

2. Why did the anchor allow Joseph to filibuster?

He allowed the neocon, who wants to reduce Social Security to cover overspending in other government programs, to go on and on without end.

I would have much preferred to have listened to Prof. Richard Wolf then listen to that heartless, conservative tell us all how wonderful the benefit cuts caused by chain CPI will be.

That silly little canard, that says we must reduce the elderly's Social Security pensions because the federal government used it and now has a deficit, is mute and of very little significance because the deficit has already declined. Then to say that our Social Security money that we paid in has already been spent is not factual. What are those almost $3 Trillion Social Security notes in the Social Security Trust fund? Why did the social security board of trustee say in their most recent report that they were NOT cashing in those notes because those notes were more valuable because they earned interest? The conservative seems to think we are all too stupid to understand he is a liar.
