Republicans (Billy Long included) want to gut Social Security. Does Long want these widows and orphans to go to the poor farm?



In the Republican response to last night's State of the Union, Republicans made clear that they intend to cut Social Security.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said only those currently "55 and older" would be spared and House Budget Chair Paul Ryan (R-WI) said only "people in and near retirement will be protected."

Translation? For everyone currently less than 55, and for all future seniors, Republicans want to gut the most popular and successful government program ever -- a program that has a $2.5 trillion surplus and which American workers paid for and earned.

Where does Billy Long stand on this issue?


He's already told us
