This sums it up very well

Many people have pushed back against the total douchbaggery of the WaPo screed against Social Security yesterday. But for elegant dismissal of trash, enjoy the words od Charles Pierce.
On Sunday, The Washington Post, a once-great newspaper now d/b/a Graham's Chicken 'n Waffles, published a "news analysis" on the state of the Social Security system that explained that it's time for us seriously to consider "reforming" the system in such a way that it never again does what it was designed to do by that spendthrift bastard FDR, and in such a way that the financial-services sector of our economy can grab as much of that Social Security money as it can and then do as much for old people as the financial-services sector has done for real estate in Nevada.

(I am paraphrasing a tad here.)
Word!
