Us Debt Crisis A Scam To Steal Social Security

On top of that Social Security is solvent. ”Let us be clear,” Senator Sanders said. ”Social Security has not contributed one nickel to our deficit or our national debt.” The program that benefits more than 50 million seniors and disabled has a $2.6 trillion surplus, he stressed, and will be able to provide full benefits for every eligible American for the next 25 years. “I am especially disturbed that President Obama is considering cuts in Social Security after he campaigned against cuts in 2008,” Sanders added.

But regardless of the truth or facts the dog and pony show of Washington continues their hypocrisy and lies. So what else is new? The Associated Press reported, “The House overwhelmingly passed a $649 billion defense-spending bill that boosts the Pentagon budget by $17 billion and covers the costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. While House Republican leaders slashed billions from all other government agencies, the Defense Department will see a double-digit increase in its budget as of Oct 1.” Barney Frank said, “The military budget is not on the table. The military is at the table, and it is eating everybody else’s lunch.” Meanwhile we’re still in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya’s in its fourth month with no signs of stopping.

Could any US president cut "defence" spending?

Good luck with that. The social security fund is already gone, replaced with IOU's.

ergo nothing to steal.

The politicians may need the military on their side.

Amazing how money can always be found for war which runs into billions.

To have a state, you need the ability to defend yourself, and the ability to tax. A military and the IRS in the case of the USA. All else is dispensable.

Its happening in this country aswell, the NHS could work so well if they didnt hire private firms.the same scam as QE, how many times were we told that QE would help maintain the target rate of 2%, but its doing the oposite, they know full well what they are doing they are reducing the value of your personal productivity, one hour of work this year has cost you more than last year, who benefits from this companies.

But those IOU's are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States- what could possibly go wrong?
