“Big Gov” Ron Johnson must think no one is paying attention, because his most recent goof-up is almost too much communism and corruption to comprehend. On Tuesday’s “the Regular Joe” show, Ron Johnson proposed using all the money from Social Security and Medicare to create a congressional discretionary spending fund—essentially reviving the failed W. Bush-era plan to dump your retirement money into the failing stock market. When W’s plan to privatize Social Security failed, the entire stock market crashed just 21 months later, proving how terrible and disastrous this plan would be for Americans. So much for small government, Ron!
This isn’t the first time Johnson has tried to rob the collective cookie jar via legislation. In fact, Ron is an outspoken critic against Social Security, even calling it a “Ponzi scheme” on several occasions. He’s also suggested creating a payout age limit and lowering the cap on amount of money any single person can receive from the program—no matter how much you’ve already paid in.
