Should the States be over Social Security?
I am sorry, but I watched Rick Perry on the debates on CNN the other night, and I just don't agree with him on this issue. I believe in States' rights, but not on this issue. We have states in this country that are broke. Look at California, for example.
I had a senior make a remark to me, that made me think more on this issue. With all the talk of Social Security, it is making the recipients of it feel like they shouldn't be getting it. They have paid into the program for years, and they also pay into medicare.
I don't agree with those who think they ought to raise the age of Seniors. They shouldn't have to work longer to be able to draw their benefits. For one thing, after you get past the age of 60 in this country, employers do not want you. They have laws to protect Seniors from being discriminated against, but they aren't effective. Fellow employees are often cruel to them. [It will be interesting to see what will happen when they get old. ]
I know several people who are old enough to draw their Social Security, and they work every day. They are very effective workers with good work ethics. There are Seniors who need to retire when they are old enough due to health issues. At least they are trying to stick it out, and are not drawing any disability yet.
The solution to the Social Security problem? I think that a flat tax should be added to support it. Also, workers ought to be able to pay more into Social Security if they wish to through their employers. I think that it should be set up where the money from the fund shouldn't be able to be spent by Congress or any Agency of the Federal Government.

Labor Unions in Wisconsin
This video confirms how nasty the unions can get. The really big kicker in all this, is our President supports them! This just shows how they want civility when it is involving someone on the right, but they can do whatever they want, and the President and the media backs them up in it.
Quite frankly, I was surprised when a Democrat stood up for the GOP Senator.
