Dear GOP, Hands Off Social Security
We strongly advise congress stop playing ideological games with the recovery, or else prioritize the debts to be paid under the Full Faith and Credit Act including the surpluses you've borrowed from the Social Security Trust Fund, FIRST, and with in
Before you pay China, Japan and the Oil Producing countries as a means of voting against raising the debt ceiling without defaulting on our obligations, we strongly advise you to prioritize and include the surpluses you?ve been borrowing for the Social Security Trust Fund, FIRST, and with interest. That?s about $2.5 trillion right now.
About the Debt Ceiling Vote and Regarding S.163 ? the Full Faith and Credit Act, we understand that you are proposing a means of allowing the government to hit the statutory debt limit without causing a default as an amendment to an upcoming aviation bill.
In the event that the debt of the United States Government, as defined in section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, reaches the statutory limit, the authority of the Department of the Treasury provided in section 3123 of title 31, United States Code, to pay with legal tender the principal and interest on debt held by the public shall take priority over all other obligations incurred by the Government of the United States.
We ALSO understand you have accused Sec Geithner of employing scare tactics in the debt-limit debate, and believe this legislation would take the specter of default off the rhetorical table.
Having watched his testimony in front of the House Budget committee and the Senate Finance Committee, we believe its YOU employing scare tactics as a means of making Social Security a scape goat. Social Security does not belong in the same camp as deficit-busting programs like Medicare and Medicaid ? Social Security is not the problem.
With the growing number of retirees and SA operating under a hiring freeze, slashing administrative funds is highly inadvisable as well.
We strongly advise against playing ideological games with the debt ceiling, paying China, Japan and the Oil Producing countries, risking confidence in the US and possibly creating. If China, Japan and the Oil Producing countries are entitled to have their debt repaid, then working Americans are entitled FIRST.
We strongly advise you vote separately to raise the debt limit without attaching conditions. We don?t trust you to not tank the economic recovery. If you want to attach spending cuts to that vote, do it AFTER you make the Social Security trust fund whole again.
We strongly advise against playing ideological games with Social Security. We do not want it privatized and available for the Wall Street banksters to securitize, bundle and over-leverage in Hedge funds. We will not permit the financial security for tens of millions of Americans disappear the same way the nest eggs of so many did when the credit bubble burst with the housing bubble with no one being held accountable.
If you REALLY WANT TO want to tackle deficit-busting programs like Medicare and Medicaid in the 2012 budget, tackle the mini-monopolies that collude to fix prices in healthcare!
