Because it's an election year, of course the Republicans are claiming they will protect Social Security. But as sure as tomorrow's sunrise, they'll look to strangle it next year if they were to end up in the majority.

It’s easy to forget how and how many times W and Cheney tried to give all the Social Security money to Wall Street, year after year, until they imploded Wall Street too, shining many klieg lights on the idiocy and danger of their prostrate proposals. Look at the US Fed links at <uswealthclock.com> to see just how little the wealthiest suffered from 2007 to 2009, and beyond. ( hint - not at all, compared to the 90% of us )

We can’t forget! — best luck to US, b.rad

I hope we all know better than to believe anything a trumpublican says. We can’t be allowed to be gulled by this lying scum one day more.

Count on it. If it were a stock, guaranteed riches. They will always keep trying to dismantle every FDR action. And create a billionaires paradise.

Michael, please notice that when Republicans say they intend to "protect" Social Security, they are referring to plans to eviscerate it.
