7. Republicans Argue That By Not Privitizing Medicare and Social Security, Democrats Are Destroying It

Because assuming the Bush tax cuts are made permanent and additional tax cuts to the rich are passed, there simply will not be enough money to fund it in its current form. Therefore, under GOP logic, Democrats are destroying it by seeking to preserve it while Republicans are saving it by repealing it and replacing it with private accounts and vouchers.
