Social Security Not Sustainable

They're going to run out of money soon. Ever since the Congess STOLE the money in the "Social Security Fund," as soon as it was identified, they've been paying Social Security out of the General Fund. And the General Fund is running short. Now they're talking about added taxes, cutting benefits, or finding other sources for the money to pay the ever-rising number of people on Social Security. all this to "make up for" the THEFT of the Social Security money by the government. It must be nice to be able to steal from people and then make them cough up the difference later when the bill comes due. That's exactly what they're doing when they raise taxes to pay for their THEFT. And again when they cut benefits.

Those benefits were part of the agreement with America made when Social Security was created. To reduce them now is to abrogate that contract. Then consider how much more money Social Security recipients could have made on the money they were FORCED, at the point of a gun, to pay into the program if they had invested the money elsewhere. The money I paid into the program alone would have made me a millionaire by now, had I been able to invest it into the lowest-paying, but reliable investments. But NO! They forced me to give it to them, and kept it without paying me ANY interest, until they were good and ready to give me back some of it. Now they want to reneg on the agreement! By the way: if you don't believe that "point of a gun" statement, just try and NOT pay into Social Security while you're working. (Glenn Beck)
