McCain’s Ignorance About Social Security Is the Real “Disgrace”
July 09, 2008
On Monday, July 7, Senator John McCain told a Denver town hall meeting that Social Security, as originally conceived more than 70 years ago, is an "absolute disgrace." In his latest entry on the Huffington Post, AFSCME President Gerald McEntee says the real disgrace is how little Sen. McCain understands about Social Security and the U.S. economy.
Just like George W. Bush, McCain's out to destroy something he knows nothing about. When they combine ignorance with power, they leave it to the rest of us to pick up the pieces from the damage they cause. Bush tried to destroy Social Security and we fought him tooth and nail. If John McCain thinks he can do what we kept Bush from doing, he's got another thing coming. The American people won't let him destroy Social Security.
