Senator Says That Social Security Is Candy And It's Going To Kill Us If We Don't Do Something

     From a speech given in February by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) (emphasis added):
... The left is giving away candy.  You don’t have to buy it; they’re giving it away and it’s tasty stuff.  And what are we faced with as conservatives?  We’re the folks sitting on the sidelines going “Yes, I know you like that candy, but here’s the problem; it’s caused a cavity.  No, it’s even worse than that.  That cavity has abscessed and it’s worse than that.  That abscess has now caused an infection and it’s in the body and if we don’t cure it, you’re going to die.”
And so the left is still saying “No, no, no, don’t worry about that.  Social Security is still solvent.”  The left is saying “No, keep eating that candy, it’s really good for you,” and we’re the ones sitting there going “No, we got the shot of Novocain and we’ve got the drill.”  Do you understand the challenge?  ...

This 'senator' is spouting Garbage, but then I'd expect no less from the likes of a Repub.

Yep, because the DEMs never spout garbage...never, ever.

While his opinion may be unpopular, can anyone argue that it is not true?

I'd say it's more like porridge. It'll sustain you but just barely and not nearly as well or as satisfying as a well-balanced meal which I would be more akin to a full-time job paying a livable wage.
