If Big Bad John really wanted to "Fix" Social Security he could...

[Hubert Flottz]

give the old folks who have worked and paid into Social Security all their working lives some realistic "cost of living raises," to keep pace with today's skyrocketing inflation and the rapidly rising cost of living, due to the oil companies rabid greed.

Investing our Social Security funds in an unstable stock market that has more ups and downs than Otis's Elevator is a lose lose proposition for the old folks in America. Use a windfall profit tax on the oil companies to shore up Social Security and to fund some meaningful, helpful and badly needed raises for the elderly, if you REALLY want to "fix" something John Boy.

Why does John hate old folks, like himself?

Look at the size of the cost of living raises that the Congress-critters and Supreme Court Justices have gotten in the last 20 years compared to the raises folks on Social Security have gotten.
