Obama campaign REFUSES to disclose plans on Social Security, says discussion belongs with senators

62. There is probably going to be an attempt to fuck with Social Security regardless of the election

There's a 100% chance of that with a Republican administration and I'd say a 50% chance of it with a Democratic administration.

There are no other options. We're going to get one or the other in November.

Based on those odds alone, the only hope is to vote for Obama.

The other consideration is how each side attempts to fuck with it. I can envision a Republican proposal for complete dismantlement of the program and replacement with some goofy sort of 401(k) that puts your retirement in the hands of Wall Street thieves. On the other hand I believe Obama's proposals would be much less drastic and would probably be limited to an increase in the age limit for full benefits, and likely offset by lifting the contributions cap.

Once again unless you want to put your retirement in the hands of Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase, you have no choice but to vote for Obama.
