Senator John McCain supports the privatization of Social Security through investing in the stock market. Even though a majority of the American people disagree with the idea of gambling with senior’s safety net, McCain wants to gove handouts to investment firms at the expense of our senior’s retirement funds. McCain was quoted on a Fox News interview as saying:

Allow people to invest part of their taxes earmarked for Social Security to investment, in investments of their choice. I am convinced that that will make the Social Security system solvent.

America should not gamble with the safety net that keeps millions of our parents and grandparents out of poverty. Or seniors deserve a leader who will protect them and not give handouts to corporate investment bankers.

Is this how a President McCain would conduct foreign policy?  From Bloomberg:

‘’We better understand the vulnerabilities that our economy and our very lives have that when we’re dependent on Iranian mullahs, and wackos in Venezuela,'’ McCain said. He didn’t refer to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez by name.

While I might agree with his sentiments, he should have a modicum of civility for those who have a stranglehold on our economy.  If the “Wacko” in Venezuela wanted to, he could cripple our infrastructure in a matter of days.  Perhaps a carrot more than a stick is warranted there.
