5. Nationwide Right to Work law would be implemented

Quick question: if they controlled the White House, wouldn't that suggest Barack Obama wouldn't be president?

Next question: Social Security works by loaning the money we pay as taxes to other government agencies, then using the interest the loans generate to pay benefits. (This is something that really pisses me off about Republican misdirection: the biggest chunk of the national debt consists of interagency loans, but they keep whining about China.) If they were able to get rid of Social Security, would we still be paying the Social Security taxes the rest of the government has come to rely on?
