Congress and President Obama should be reminded that even President Reagan knew that Social Security doesn't effect the deficit one way or the other. The ups and downs of Social Security are based on the population paying into and drawing out of the system. Currently more people are drawing out of the system than are paying into the system. This will change as more people enter the workforce and current recipients pass away. Congress needs to pay back what it borrowed over the decades from this system rather than try to cut benefits. Leave Social Security out of the equation since it doesn't affect the Deficit the way both of the Bush Era Wars and Tax Cuts did.
Why is this important?
Tell Congress and President Obama to leave Social Security alone.
