Social Security to start cashing Uncle Sam's IOUs

I suppose the timing of this doesn’t really matter.

“Those bonds are protected by the full faith and credit of the United States of America,” said Barbara Kennelly, a former Democratic congresswoman from Connecticut who is now president of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

While Congress must shore up the program, action is unlikely this year, said Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., who just took over last week as chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees Social Security.
“The issues required to address the long-term solvency needs of Social Security can be done in a careful, thoughtful and orderly way and they don’t need to be done in the next few months,” Pomeroy said.

Really? But it seems like more of a current problem than health care so why not the same calm assiduous approach?

Redefining social security is not as glamorous as health care “for all” so that matter will be avoided for now while poisoning the American public with new health care legislation will be trumpeted as the historical haymaker that puts Pelosi and other Dems in the books.

There really is no way to frame a redo of social security in a way that is attractive to anyone since its all ready universal and a problem so they avoid it.

The bums. All of them. Some one needs to fire the first shot. Another revolution is the only redress. Voting is simply not enough anymore and people need to realize that. Yet, such an early prognostication of revolution in America will meet mostly detractors from all colors. This is a shame but even if Thomas Jefferson could be made “fresh” and “alive” today to where he would also advocate revolt as the only viable course of action he would also meet the same fate as anyone else. Which is also a shame because pundits, politicians and sycophants all claim to have him in part as their inspiration yet none know him so well at all.

It is absolute and utter ignorance for people today to say that anyone from the founding generation would NOT support a revolution today. Its non sense because they are talking about the very people that started the only revolution in our history and to think they wouldn’t have the nerve to do it again is to be believed only by a stupid person.

It is long over due. Off with Pelosi, Reid, and Obama’s diplomatic heads!

When its time, and the time is in fact very near, I’ll do my part.
