Pres Obama: David, in pursuit of strengthening SS, I'm willing to cut SS benefits

118. SS has zero to do with the Deficit. The right answer to that moron, 'David' from

a Democrat is this:

'David, you appear to be grossly misinformed. SS is a separate fund, owned by the American people who have built it up to the point where it currently has an over 2 trillion dollar surplus. It is not in any trouble and won't be for the next two decades or so. We have no right to touch that fund without the permission of those who own it and so far, they have overwhelmingly opposed Republican's attempts to do this. As a Democrat I intend to stop them from attempting to cut benefits to our most vulnerable citizens, one because they have no right to do so and two, because SS has nothing to do with the deficit and cutting those benefits will do nothing to lower the deficit.

In fact, I believe that SS ought to be raised considering the huge surplus in the Fund and how that would help stimulate the economy.

I do believe you need to learn more about this issue, David.
