Welcome, everybody.

I want to start today by talking about the scam that Republicans have been running on social

security.

Social security is arguably the most successful anti-poverty program in American history,

and especially because the math is just pointing to, if Republicans really want to cut

two to $2.5 trillion from the budget, they are going to have to look at social security because the math just doesn't make

sense otherwise.

Now, you would think that social security would be something both parties just agree on,

but you would be very wrong.

It would be a reasonable assumption, but you would be wrong.

The Republican Party has been scheming for decades to destroy

social security, of course, quietly by telling seniors that they want to improve or add flexibility

to or take control of social security. But what they really mean is let's privatize it, allow Wall Street to make a bunch of money

off of it and gamble with your retirement savings.

And if you explain it the honest way, which is the way I just did that in the second explanation,

it's not exactly going to convince seniors to vote for you or people

approaching retirement age to vote for you.

So I want to talk about the scam of Republican lying about Social Security, which they use

to push privatization.

So let's start with the lie.

Republicans love to say Social security is going broke.

You've heard the scare tactics.
