D.C.'s threats about Social Security are meant to terrorize the weakest element of our society. The threat is comically stupid, but the fear that is created is quite real.
Monday, the government opened the season of its favorite sport: terrorizing the elderly and the infirm.
Terrorism is the act of obtaining your goal by fear. Washington wants more money, so it threatens those who are weakest in our society. Two years ago, Obama played the game of "We aren't sure whether your Social Security checks will go out." This time it is Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew who sent a letter to Congress specifying that "the government wouldn’t have enough cash to cover Social Security payments, military personnel salaries, Medicare and other programs for an “extended period.” Basically, if you don't give us more money, we will shoot the old people.
The article explains just how unserious the threat is
