It should not surprise me anymore, but somehow I'm still jolted when I hear just how craven some of these GOP assholes are.
"It will be my objective to phase out Social Security - to pull it out by the roots and get rid of it." --Sen Mike Lee (R-UT) February 2010
Let's be really clear on this - Republicans are still fully intent on killing Social Security, but Mike Lee and practically all his comrades are now backpedaling furiously because they know they'll be savaged if they don't dress up their plan in language that's a little softer, and more likely to lull the unsuspecting into a false sense of security.
They will never stop trying to fuck us out of what we've all spent a lifetime earning. And they will never tell us the truth about what they're trying to do. Ever.
When they say "reform", they mean "privatize".
And when they say "privatize", they mean, "We have to placate our dark-money sponsors by perpetuating Wall Street Welfare forever."
Fuck these guys.
