Why doesn't Government mess with their own finances?

I just was just wondering why is government messing with Social Security and lining their pockets with cash. While their constituents on Social Security live each day with the burden of losing money they need to survive. Why doesn't the government mess with their own income?

    What do you mean? Government sets its finances, and changes how much it collects and what it spends it on.

    ???? Government doesn't HAVE pockets. The US government is in debt, not "lining its pockets." at all.

    You are completely confused about everything.

    If you support our keeping Social Security, contact your representatives in the federal government. Tell them that you will do anything you can to prevent their re-election, if they take any vote to hurt Social Security.

    BTW, it's one of the MOST popular government programs EVER, so it's unlikely the GOP will be able to dismantle it.
