Why Social Security is a failure...
It needs a bailout!

Don't look now. But even as the bank bailout is winding down, another huge bailout is starting, this time for the Social Security system.
A report from the Congressional Budget Office shows that for the first time in 25 years, Social Security is taking in less in taxes than it is spending on benefits.
Instead of helping to finance the rest of the government, as it has done for decades, our nation's biggest social program needs help from the Treasury to keep benefit checks from bouncing -- in other words, a taxpayer bailout.

All that money that was deducted from your paycheck for Social Security was spent the moment it came out; and now the Fed needs you to bailout their reckless spending habits!
