Santorum Blames Warren Court, Planned Parenthood, Birth Control, Oral Sex for Non-Existent Social Security "Crisis"

Rick in full froth: 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. If only there were a large country, maybe adjacent to ours, that was home to a lot of people who wanted to come to the United States to live and work. And if the people in this hypothetically adjacentish country tended to have large families, and tended to be religious, social conservatives would no doubt to create a path to citizenship for folks from this hypothetical country. Because American needs more people, right? (For the record: there is no social security "crisis.") [ Comment on this story ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
