A TPM Reader chimes in …
Josh,
Why is it Social Security that needs fixing when it is the Republicansâ runawayâ spending that is the problem?!
By their own admission, the problem will occur when the excessive SS contributions begin to slow down causing the government to look elsewhere for the money they need to cover all those tax cuts they gave their rich friends (and, I suspect, themselves).
So why is it Social Security that needs fixing?
Please explain.
Thanks.

That <$NoAd$> pretty much covers it. The real danger to Social Security is to be found in the president’s first-term tax cuts.
