    1976-2000: The Democratic Party controls the Senate, House, the Presidency, or all three. Social Security is in trouble! There won't be any money left when the (Gen Xers) grow up!

    2001-2005: The GOP controls Congress and the White House. Social Security is fine! The neocons are trying to steal grandma's SS! People are too stupid to be trusted with individual retirement accounts!
