Criticize the President? We should not even be having serious conversations about this.

110. Since SS had nothing to do with the Deficit, no one should be cutting benefits to pay off

the gambling debts of the Bush administration and their criminal friends on Wall St.

It is unconscionable to even think of including this program for cuts in order to help those criminals in any way when what should be happening is they should be prosecuted, their ill-gotten gains returned to the people to help bring down the deficit they caused, and the Bush Tax Cuts completely rescinded.

Those tax cuts contributed over 2 trillion dollars to the deficit.

SS contributed NOTHING to the Deficit.

Why would a democratic president even consider asking people who had nothing to do with the deficit to help criminals to avoid paying back all the money they spent on illegal wars, on tax cuts for their friends and on the corruption on Wall St?

Not one dime of SS should even go to help bring a deficit that had nothing to do with it.

They are furiously looking around to find money to help get their Wall St buddies off the hook for the debts they ran up. No one in their right mind would have been looking at SS to do that.

And, you don't take money from the poor to try to help the even-more-poor. You take it from their very own fund because then no one is hurt and millions are helped. So to say that taking this money will help the 'poorest' means taking it from the slightly less poor and making THEM more poor. Take it from Wall St. criminals who have it hidden in offshore accounts, trillions of it. Or, give them their OWN money.
