"For the Children" or not
For as long as one can remember this has been the Democrat and Liberal mantra to get action on anything from Education to Welfare. The left has used this tag line so much it has become cliché. To generate widespread interest or to throw guilt upon opponents of an issue, the left has used it like humans use oxygen. That is until something really IS for the Children--Social Security Reform.
From the liberal organization AARP to every liberal pundit on TV and in the Mainstream Media (MSM), you will find the, 'this is not a crisis until 2042'. The left has little to no interest in helping save the Social Security system for our youth, the children of America. Rather they complain that the President is over reaching and overreacting to the problem that is decades off, beginning to payout more than is coming in, in 2018.
Ironic that AARP is so active in this campaign against reform when the President has already issued a mandate that any reform exempts those born before 1950 (55 and over). Yet it is the liberal lobby known as AARP that is helping to drive this opposition to the reform efforts. Selfish, comes to mind for the greatest generation. Wow, no benefit cuts for them, but watch out if you want t o reform the great Ponzi scheme created by the great FDR, who knew of it’s failings from the beginning.
Considering that the impact of the crisis will not affect seniors or near seniors, it is really an issue for the children. Yes, the same children we have heard so much about as the one's having to pay for this war in Iraq because we are running deficits to pay for it. The same children who we have heard, adnauseam, that are the one's burdened with the 7 trillion debt.
Do not bother to consider, if you are the AARP or the standard barriers of the liberal cause that 11 to 12 trillion in unfunded liabilities owed to those born as of today are owed to future retires. This amount will fade away into the solvency that IS voluntary SS retirement accounts. IT would become the single greatest tax cut and debt payoff in World history!
All the President and those who are sensible are asking is for us to pay ahead on the burden like we would a mortgage. By paying ahead we reduce the liability that lays ahead of us. To think the Left, the Dems and the AARP are just playing politics on the single most important offering by a President in US history is criminal. Not only is it an attempt to solve the problem, but by clearing this Titanic deck (SS) we will better allow ourselves the ability to reform Medicare which also looms large. But first things first…let’s tackle Social Security before it is out of control, while it is only a crisis.
What scares the left so much is that this President dares to be right, and is on this issue. How can they live with themselves when this problem is solved by a Republican who cut taxes during the process…oh nightmare!
