Take Social Security Off The Table

King George the Bush and his puppet masters raped Social Security to finance two pointless wars. It has been predicted that the program will go broke by 2037 unless drastic measures are implemented.

"What drastic measures," you might be asking? Most involve changing the cost-of-living formula by which benefits rise to compensate for inflation. Others include "means-testing" for the wealthy so they don't get as much. Those ideas are getting renewed attention now.

The one measure than is getting no attention at all - eliminate the $106,800 income cap!

As if the attacks on the nation's middle class weren't bad enough, it appears that President Obama is applying Anal Lip Balm in preparation for kissing Republican ass instead of telling them to go F--K themselves.

According to multiple news sources the president has offered to cut Social Security benefits if Republicans agree not to let the U.S. default on its debts.

MoveOn.org has stated: "It's his offering to the out-of-control Republicans, who are threatening to crash the economy in order to ram through savage cuts to crucial government programs.

It's sickening to think that millions of seniors would have to sacrifice in order to appease Republican hostage-takers. Especially because every poll shows [an] overwhelming majority of Americans support raising taxes on the rich and protecting Social Security and Medicare."

MoveOn.org has a petition that you may sign in protest to cuts in Social Security. Whether it will do any good or not remains to be seen, but it can't hurt. I signed it with a message to Democrats to "quit kissing Republican ass and grow a set."

Obama has other options other than to acquiesce to the Republicans. One is the 14th Amendment, Section 4: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Here is another option:
