Reply #25: Another soccer mom for truth and justice [View All]

[PinkyisBlue]

I'm a soccer mom, too (among other things), and it makes me sick what is happening to our country. This bunch of thugs in power is stealing all of our resources, both natural and economic, for their own gain. They want to drill in Alaska for negligible amounts of oil, clear-cut our forests and pollute our air for profit, blow up the tops of mountains, etc. They see the pool of Social Security money, OUR money, as a cash cow.

The Social Security System is one of the most efficient government systems and just needs one or two small adjustments to continue its solvency for the next 75+ years. I'm really afraid that they're going to get their hands on this money, privatize it (partially or wholly), steal what they can, and the rest of us will lose out. Once the system is dismantled through privatization, it will be difficult or impossible to go back to the government system we have now that works so well.

It seems that this administration gets whatever it wants, by hook or by crook, and they have set their sights on our retirement money.
