Saving Social Security...the hard way

Or the easy way, depending on how you look at it. Simply shorten average expected life spans.

With the severity and urgency of this problem, you can understand why Congress has devoted itself to the greatest threat to our nation's health....steroids in baseball. For their next crusade, Congress plans to haul Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Jake The Snake before a panel to investigate whether or not wrestling is "fixed". Don't worry, they'll get to the obesity problem....eventually.
