As we wrote before, both parties are responsible for the Social Security Crisis. This chart from the Ways and Means Committee clearly shows the growth in "mandatory" spending over the years. The only way to slow the growth of spending is to reform the programs doing the spending. Both parties helped create the problem. Both should work to solve it.
Special thanks to Willisms for finding the chart.
