McCain calls Social Security "a disgrace"...

...and, no, I'm not making this up.

From Talking Points Memo:

McCain told a townhall in Denver on Monday, "Americans have got to understand that. Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. And that's a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace and it's got to be fixed."

Ummm, Sen. McCain...that's how Social Security works!!!

Social Security is the most popular government program in American history, but if you feel like it's a disgrace, please make your feelings known to every retired person in this country...
