Boehner cuts off C-Span cameras as GOP takes beating

[Nbadan]

the same underfunding problem will always be inherent

In 1983 Raygun and GreenSpin doubled our Social Security payments (and cut the uber rich's payments but that's another story). The Baby Boomers were the 1st generation to pay for two retirements - their parents and their own. Before Raygun, Social Security payments went directly to the retired generation so in effect the working kids paid for their parent's retirement. But Raygun changed all that.

The Baby Boomer's money is in the Social Security Trust Fund. That's where their retirement payouts will come from. That Trust Fund is suppose to go to zero after we Baby Boomers have passed on.

That leaves our children to pay for only their own Social Security. Ever cent our kids contribute to Social Security today goes to them (and the disabled and orphans of their generation).

So, we have paid for our parent's retirements and we have paid for our own retirements and now our federal government wants to take it away from us to pay for wars and tax cuts for the wealthy.

That's not a ponzi scheme, that's down right fraud.

Republicans Cut C-SPAN Feed As House Democrats Take To The Floor To Demand The GOP Get Back To Work.

House Democrats took the fight to the Republicans on Friday when they rushed to the floor of the House to demand that the GOP get back to work and cut short a recess that will last till the end of January.

As James Clyburn demanded to know where the Republicans were at, the House Leadership cut the C-SPAN feed and shut off the microphones. This marks the second time that House Republicans have censored the Democrats in an effort to keep the American people from seeing what is happening on the House floor. As C-SPAN has noted, the House Speaker controls the cameras and microphones.

Apparently Republicans can’t be bothered to do their jobs. Most Americans are already back to work after the holiday season. Millions of Americans still don’t have jobs at all and are struggling day to day. Only Republican politicians don’t seem to let that interfere with their own over extended vacations.

This is a time for congressional members to visit their districts.

Keep up the propaganda!
