Of course it's possible. Social Security could certainly be repealed. It hasn't been possible so far. Apparently citizens don't think it's necessary. Hence, social security exists.

You pluck one sentence and twist it. Typically I might add.

What's typical is your persistent personal snarkiness towards me. You go out of your way to be so. Good luck with that.

Oh ok. Where would the money come from again?

and Obama should be doing less crack.

There are plans to takeover 401ks to fund Social Security. Social Security is in the general fund because it is unConstitutional. They had to sell it as just another tax and that's all it will be to the generations that paid the most for the ones that pay the least.

and what does far right mean? You are really really for the Constitution?

I don't care if it's not planning for retirement, having too many cheeseburgers, or having unprotected relations with the wrong people -- if you did it, you own it. I have the freedom and the right not to be burdened for someone else's bad judgement. That's what freedom is.

The nanny state and all its ilk should never have gotten as far as it has, and it should be dismantled piece-by-piece and immediately.
