In this week's speech to the nation, the President MIS-SPOKE! Social Security is NOT part of the federal budget! Please point out this fellatious idiocy.
ReplyDeleteSocial Security is self-funded with 2.6 TRILLION dollar surplus--it is solvent for the next 30 years. I expect better from the President I voted for. Remove the income cap of $113,000 in income. It is ludicrous that someone making 5 million in corporate salary pays the same as someone making $113,000 with a family to support.
I wish my President sounded more like David K. Johnston and used his research. He was exceptional today.
