Santorum blames abortion for Social Security woes
Honestly, you can't make this stuff up.

CONCORD, N.H. – In his latest trip to New Hampshire, Republican Rick Santorum says the Social Security system would be in much better shape if there were fewer abortions.

The former Pennsylvania senator and potential presidential candidate was asked about Social Security during an interview on WESZ-AM radio in Laconia on Tuesday morning.

He says the system has design flaws, but the reason it is in big trouble is that there aren't enough workers to support retirees. He blamed that on what he called the nation's abortion culture. He says that culture, coupled with policies that do not support families, deny America what it needs — more people.

1. Uh, Rick Baby, if there were more people, there would have to be more $$ to pay for their future
Social Security benefits.

4. Never mind there are not enough jobs for those who were born
Does he think that if a child is born they pay Social Security taxes regardless if they have a job when they grow up?

What a fool!

5. How about getting all these people with no job back to work.
People with no job are not paying SS tax.

Republicans are too stupid for words.

If we're going to call someone out for their stupidity it's best to do it with correct grammar.

15. Yep, just what we need - more effin people
Seems like if that's really what you want, the answer would be to eliminate ALL barriers to immigration and get more people here right fucking now.

If you eliminate abortion you have to wait 20 years for the unaborted folks to enter the work force and start supporting retirees.

Immigrants can do it immediately.

24. How about the employment shortage being more to blame
for not enough revenue coming in, instead of not enough people? There are teens and early 20's ready to enter the job market and can't find jobs.

Typical RW BS.
