Why won't Democrats tell the truth about Social Security?
From the New York Times:download game xxx k700
"If we did nothing with Social Security," said Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, at a highly publicized event in New York with many leading Democrats, "Social Security would pay 100 percent of benefits for the next 50 years."
That's undeniably true, senator -- if we raise taxes, cut benefits or both. For as you well know, there's nothing but IOUs in the Social Security "Trust Fund." And when the system begins -- in 2018, which is 13 years from now, not 50 -- to pay out more than it collects, how will we make up the difference?download game xxx k700
While the president's call for private accounts won't solve the coming shortfall, neither will Democratic obfuscation of the truth.download game xxx k700
