SOCIAL SECURITY TRUSTEES SAY
BENEFITS COME TO HALT IN 2041 Medicare Hits Empty by 2019 Washington, DC – The Social Security trustees report was issued late Tuesday and all of the usual hand-wringing rhetoric about “something must be done” produced no new proposals or actions, according to the Christian Seniors Association. According to one news report, the Social Security system has three options:
“With a few heroic exceptions, no one mentioned keeping Congressional paws out of the Social Security Trust Fund and allowing money taken from workers for their Social Security to (actually) be used for Social Security,” said CSA Executive Director James Lafferty. “Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas), Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) and Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) are lonely voices crying out within the Beltway,” said Lafferty. “Senator DeMint’s ‘Stop the Raid’ budget amendment would bring a halt to the Congressional thievery which has taken $2 trillion out of Social Security to spend on pet projects and non-related federal programs. Experts estimate the Congress will take another trillion dollars before 2013. “We need to get Congress to stop talking and start acting so that these lawmakers will stop treating Social Security like their own personal slush fund. “CSA will continue to work with those in the Congress who want to protect the hard-earned Social Security benefits of seniors. We will also explore the possibility of a comprehensive reform bill which targets abuses of the trust of America’s seniors. “The trustees report concluded that there had been little to no improvement in the condition of the Social Security Trust Fund. To use a word which is getting thrown around a lot in the election cycle, that needs to ‘change.’ The Christian Seniors Association has over 300,000 members across America and is a Christian alternative to the liberal AARP. It was founded by the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon and is a project of the Traditional Values Coalition. |
