Social Security Insecurity?

Back in the 1983 I along with other working folks were asked to pay increased Social Security taxes to help insure that the Social Security system would remain solvent into the current century. We did that. Now George Bush has been running around the country like Chicken Little trying to panic the American people about Social Security while pulling the rug out from under the middle class workers who paid those increased taxes while giving tax breaks to all his wealthy cronies.
One of the best sites I have found that explains what's going on with Social Security and Bush is talkingpointsmemo.com. This post by Josh Marshall is especially informative on what needs or does not need to be done.
