Conservatives, Keep Your Grimy Hands Off My Social Security
"The real danger is not that Social Security is unsound, but that its
enemies might convince the public to accept "reforms" that would destroy
it. Who are the enemies? They are the ideologues and the selfish. The
ideologues would eliminate government programs in the name of ideological
purity. The selfish lust after the fortunes to be made if even a small
portion of Social Security were "privatized." Neither group is concerned
with the consequences of their actions for others."

The program has been violently opposed by conservatives, not only when it
was first introduced, but ever since, with numerous efforts to end it,
reduce it's effectiveness, privatize it, and effectively gut it.

Social Security is not a permanent thing that, if changed, would not
suddenly be destroyed never to come back again. All you need to do is
convince the public to vote for people who will change it back.

Of course they are. That's because you are a demagogue.
