To dissemble is to lie or disguise your true intentions . To disassemble is to take something apart. While conservatives dissemble often, they’ve made no secret of their intentions to disassemble social security.

A fine solution for taxing the wealthy, but it's a shame you premise is based upon such faulty, outdated reasoning. A country with a sovereign currency can never become insolvent. It can always meet its obligations. Funding SS is a political issue, not an economic one. Please take 5 minutes to read something about MMT (modern monetary theory). It will prevent idiotic discussions about 'running out of money.'
