In the middle of the night, the US Senate stole $150 Billion dollars from Social Security.

South Dakota Senators Mike Rounds and John Thune were among the Republican Senators who voted “YES” to this attack against seniors in America.  The money paid into Social Security by millions of Americans was simply scooped out of the program in this late-night deal.  $150 Billion dollars… GONE… in the blink of an eye.

It was a major part of the “Budget Deal” that REMOVED the debt ceiling and sold 58 million barrels of oil from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves.

So, what’s in this “deal” for Republicans?  It prevents a possible confrontation with Democrats over fiscal insanity which might create a “government shutdown”.  Republicans fear that could disadvantage them in upcoming elections.  It’s that simple.  Political expedience and advantage is more important in the minds of Republicans than the security of senior citizens and fiscal responsibility.

It is a sad day for America.  It is a BAD time to be dependent on Social Security.

Mike Rounds and John Thune have betrayed South Dakota senior citizens.
