Ahh, Obama's nonsense again. He's just inciting people to riot. What a great leader. It won't happen. There is plenty of money coming into the SS trust fund every month to pay for the checks that need to be written. Is the fund "in trouble"? Sure, but the break even isn't for a few years yet and could be fixed any number of ways. Did you know theoriginal deduction for SS was 1/2 of 1%? Now it's about 7.5%.
And you guys are talking civil war and revolution. I can see it now. All the old geezers hobbling to DC with their single shot 10/22's demanding their social security checks. And all this because the government won't give you your dole? So take down the government, then you won't have a government to give you you're dole anymore. That's the level of thinking we're faced with these days. We should not have become dependent on government in the first place.
