Karen Harrington Hounds Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Social Security

Republican congressional candidate Karen Harrington --who is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a rising star for the Democrats -- took aim at her opponent on Social Security. Responding to comments from the congresswoman that Social Security funds should not be open to investment in the stock market, Harrington blasted Wasserman Schultz.

"Hypocritical statements such as these are proof positive that politicians such as Debbie Wasserman Schultz do not have a very high opinion of their constituents' own ability to think for themselves," said Harrington, "It's clear that Debbie thinks her constituents are the equivalent of helpless children who cannot cope without her guidance and are incapable of making their own investment decisions or managing their own money. Unfortunately, our present leaders in Congress view themselves as a ruling class of elites, and no longer as public servants. Debbie is certainly more comfortable lecturing everyone else what to do rather than allowing people to have the same choices and opportunities that she has at her disposal. Hypocritical posturing that is this egregious should make people question whether Debbie ever believes her own rhetoric about this or any other important issue that Americans are facing today."
