John Stewart is funny and he is also right. Rick Perry will be our next president.

I don't think anybody who wants to change Social Security can ever be President~at least, not in this decade (or two)!

THAT!!! Was effing hilarious. I vote Rick Perry. He seems to have done a fine job running this state and he is straight to the point. Unlike the other cat and GWB.

However, in his book “No Apology: The Case For American Greatness”, which was published just last year, Romney compared those managing Social Security to criminals, saying:

“Let’s look at what would happen if someone in the private sector did a similar thing. Suppose two grandparents created a trust fund, appointed a bank as trustee, and instructed the bank to invest the proceeds of the trust fund so as to provide for their grandchildren’s education. Suppose further that the bank used the proceeds for its own purposes, so that when the grandchildren turned eighteen, there was no money for them to go to college. What would happen to the bankers responsible for misusing the money? They would go to jail. But what has happened to the people responsible for the looming bankruptcy of Social Security? They keep returning to Congress every two years.”

Romney also says in his book, “To put it in a nutshell, the American people have been effectively defrauded out of their Social Security.”

Stewart is funny but it's scarey to think that some people get all their news from a fake news show ........ and believe it.
