I'm afraid you're wrong. McCain really
did say:
Quote:

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

And, given that the social security system actually
was set up to pay present-day retirees with the taxes paid by younger workers in America, it's clear that Mr. McCain's understanding of one of our biggest social systems leaves an
great deal to be desired.
The simple fact is, the man has no idea what he's talking about.
