this needs to go viral

[midnight]

26. Manny hit on a very important detail being side step...

I'm listening to :http://wwww.c-spanvideo.org/program/Bigges


Around 34:58 Joshua says something to the effect that:

social security trust fund is a huge pile of t-bills, and cannot be used BY LAW to influence the surplus or deficit of the U.S. federal budget....

These T-bills that make up our social security is so abundant that when we begin to draw down, the intrests payments are such that they will continue to rise until it reaches 4.2 trillion....

[stockholmer]

31. laws can be be changed, and if you think those T-bills will be kept 'sacred' whilst the huge........

other creditors (soverign wealth funds, entire major nations, etc) are forced to take trillions in 'haircuts', well, lolol, I have some prime swamp, errrr 'beachfront' property for you.

[laylah]

27. WTG Manny! nt

[Forkboy]

28. Some DU heads just exploded.

Thank Christ.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

29. Gee, I guess that sometimes the truth does win out.

Congratulations and good work Manny.

[MannyGoldstein]

30. I am shocked, humbled, and highly amused

Didn't see this until now.

Holy Cow! Thanks!

We all need to pull together to stop Social Security from being gutted. The "Deficit Commission", in which 10 of the 18 members had publicly called for Social Security cuts before they were even appointed, voted to recommend slashing $56,000 from the average beneficiary's lifetime benefits. A little review of the math shows there's zero good reason for this, it's just another application of the Shock Doctrine to steal trillions from working Americans so that the wealthiest can get even wealthier. It is an awful thing that is being done here, and we must fight, and we must prevail.

With so many Americans against cutting benefits - heck, http://mountainsageblog.com/2010/04/15/tea-partiers-fear-socialism-but-love-social-security-and-medicare/">even most in the Tea Party are in favor of Social Security and Medicare - we have a shot at stopping this shameless operation. If the good guys can't win this one, I don't think we can win anything.
