    It's interesting to see these fake groups and websites that these conservative billionaires set up.

    Here you can see they bought the domain http://socialsecurity.org which they use as a platform for advocating the repeal of Social Security.

    They have a page fear mongering the issue which says this:

    "Social Security will begin running a deficit by 2016, just six years from now. In theory, the Social Security trust fund will pay benefits until 2037"

    But back in the late 90s when they started the site they said:

    http://web.archive.org/web/19980…

    "Social Security could begin running a deficit as early as 2006. By 2012, Social Security will begin paying out more in benefits than it collects in revenues."

    These guys are determined to eliminate SS even though they have to keep moving the goalposts in terms of the "facts."

    Something to keep in mind when you read shit like this:
