The outrage! Social Security cheats

The outrage! Social Security cheats

Representative Paul Ryan and other Congressional Republicans say they are determined to go after Americans who are receiving Social Security disability benefits fraudulently. What a breath of fresh air. I'm so glad that our elected Representatives are going after the real criminals, those who are cheating Social Security by getting thousands of dollars they may not deserve.

This is so much better than going after the Wall Street Bankers who stole billions of dollars and brought our economy to its knees. It's also much better than inconveniencing the corporations who make billions of dollars in profits in the United States while paying no taxes.

It is comforting to see that Republicans have their priorities straight. They know who poses the greatest threat to our nation, lazy Social Security recipients, not hard-working billionaires. They also know who finances their campaigns and gives them lucrative jobs when they leave government service. Who needs schools, highways, police, firemen, and health care, anyway?
