Blaming Social Security For Deficits Is Like Blaming Iraq For 9/11 (And Unions In WI)

by davej

Isn't it funny how the corporate conservatives always offer the same solutions to every problem? Even when the solution doesn't really have much to do with the problem? Iraq didn't attack us, and Social Security doesn't have anything to do with deficits. But the "solution" to 9/11 was to attack Iraq, and the proposed "solution" to deficits is to "fix" Social Security. And the "solution" to state budget crises is to get rid of public employee unions. Why?

Got a crisis? A tax cut will fix it. Getting rid of unions will fix it. Privatizing Social Security will fix it. And gutting government solves everything. Doesn't even matter what the problem is!
