I was not blaming all of SS's problems on the dems.
I was merely pointing out how they use SS as an issue, but never solve it.
Sure, blame the repubs, too, if you want.
But the argument was presented that evil repubs use fear to manipulate voters, while saintly dems speak only to real issues.
It was already pointed out that dems, as far back as the Johnson administration began raiding of SS to fund their mandates.
How about during Carter when they controlled the White House, Congress, and the Courts?
Why was it not solved under Clinton?
