Abby Huntsman Promotes the Wall Street Banksters’ Big Lie
Last week, Huntsman, a co-host on MSNBC’s “The Cycle” and the daughter of former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, went off on what she said was the biggest issue facing her generation: Social Security. The program, she said, is going “bankrupt,” and will need serious fixes over the next few decades to make sure it lasts for generations to come. You know, serious fixes like raising the retirement age to 75.
If Abby’s rant sounds familiar, that’s because it’s pretty much a carbon copy of every Social Security scare piece put out by Beltway deficit “hawks” over the past few years. Like Abby Huntsman, those deficit hawks say that while Social Security was nice while it lasted, it just won’t be able to keep up with our aging population and will therefore run out of money soon.
Saying that Social Security will go bankrupt has become so popular it’s easy to believe that it’s true. But it’s actually one big lie.f
