Calls to "finally fix" Social Security happen as regularly as the tides

[Armstead]

Sometimes it's instigated by Democrats, but more often by Rerpublicans.

There are alarm bells about "Oh the budget is on a collision course with disaster. WE MUST FIX SOCIAL SECURITY NOW!"

Commissions are appointed, recommendations are made, and usually ignored.

People and politicians eventually get tired of the subject. With occasional exceptions, nothing gets done, and we move on to other matters.

Dunno if that will happen again this time -- Or if President Obama and the Congressional Dems will actually do something.....Like follow the GOPS marching orders and dismantle and distort it's original purpose.

Oh well...history repeats...
