(1,558 posts)deficit or future viability of Social Security...
We could fix Social Security as easily as we can fix the Post Office deficit...
Both have been strangled by REPUBLICAN AND Third way DEMOCRACTIC policies limiting either their viable income or their viable RESERVES...
In the case of the Post Office these bastards required the Post Office...to retain a 75 year security fund for the retirment pension even though NO Company, Corporation or GOVERNMENTAL Body in the country is required do the same...This is utter bull s*** by the prostitutes that are trying to privatize the US Post Office for the finacial gain of themselves and their owners...
In the case of Social Security all we have to do is remove the CAP on interest payments that allows higher incomes to pay NOTHING into the Fund but they can still collect from it...
Problems solved and no one was hurt...
And for those trolls that want their country back and to go back to the 50's.... I say sure! lets try that...top tax rate was 90% on the wealthy and there was no cap on social security payments....
