When they say 'deficit', 'debt' and 'Social Security'
"Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit. That’s a totally bogus issue.  To talk about Social Security within the context of deficit reduction is total nonsense, because it has not contributed one nickel to the deficit."
Social Security has a $2.6 trillion surplus and the only reason there is ever talk of privatizing it is because Wall Street fat cats want to get their greasy hands on it.
