They are after Social Security because they do not want to pay out to the retiring baby boomer generation. When the number of people retiring was much smaller than the tax paying, working baby boomer generation prior to their retirement the government enjoyed a surplus and borrowed from this for other things rather than saving the money for when the baby boomer generation retired. Now that it is time to pay the benefits to the baby boomer generation the Republicans would like to see Social Security done away with. Those benefits were paid for. The people deserve their money. It is truly sad.
