Bush tried to prevent this but the pinko liberals and spineless republicans were concerned with buying the next election.

Why do so many people see a monster under the bed as far as social security going bankrupt, social security is not going to go down the tubes unless it is replaced with something to fill the gap... We cannot maintain what we consider a civilized country with so many of it's citizens dieing in the streets... Social security has had problems in the past and will continue to do so but it's history shows there are ways to keep it solvent, the ceiling has been raised a few times and if all else fails it will be raised again... Is there some reason hard liners are all gloom and doom about every issues that comes down the pike... Mr. Obama is our president, live with it for the next four years.
