could fool the people.

I remember Paul Ryan telling Bush in 2005 that SS was 'no longer the third rail' of politics. He found out how wrong he was when Bush was sent home from his intended 50 state campaign to cut SS after maybe two or three states.

However, with Democrats helping them out now it looks they are close to getting their decades long dream of ending the New Deal started.

It is SHAMEFUL for any Democrat to even pretend that this is not what they are doing and I think it's past time to make them aware that Ryan was wrong then and is still wrong. Any Democrat who does not speak out strongly against the Chained CPI or whatever other deceptive term they come up, that attacks SS, will not be reelected.

In fact, maybe it's time for the American people to file a Class Action suit against the Government to stop them from stealing from this fund and to force them to repay the money they've already stolen.
