Yep, it's just another attempt to separate hard working Americans from their Social Security benefits... while benefitting wealthy folks who don't need Social Security.
I knew it sounded too good to be true.

Governing elites in Washington and Wall Street have devised a fiendishly clever "grand bargain" they want President Obama to embrace in the name of "fiscal responsibility." The government, they argue, having spent billions on bailing out the banks, can recover its costs by looting the Social Security system. They are also targeting Medicare and Medicaid. The pitch sounds preposterous to millions of ordinary working people anxious about their economic security and worried about their retirement years. But an impressive armada is lined up to push the idea--Washington's leading think tanks, the prestige media, tax-exempt foundations, skillful propagandists posing as economic experts and a self-righteous billionaire spending his fortune to save the nation from the elderly.

And who is that self-righteous billionaire? None other than Peter J. Peterson, who presided over the tax hikes on American workers which occurred in the Ronald Reagan Administration. Now he is the rich guy funding the insidiously humorous Hugh Jidett For President campaign currently haunting the airways.
