If the Social Security shoe were on the other foot
How would Republicans respond if they could demonstrate that a social security program could be revamped to save trillions of dollars in advance, be operated transparently, with fees and costs below 0.2%, was among the safest investments in the world, had bi-partisan support, promoted a partnership between employers and employees and provided predictable benefits for every citizen?

Well, put up what they're proposing against what already exists - and see which shoe they want to wear.

1. These people never stop trying to fix what isn't broken or trying to
figure out how to reinvent the wheel.

2. Just remember, they aren't trying to fix what isn't broken -- they're
trying to break what isn't broken. They want SS to die so they can own us all forever.
