A couple of SSI points

Advertisements [?]

I just don't hear enough emphasis put on the fact that SSI is an insurance plan and never was intended to be a retirement plan. More is coming out now but that is one of the main points, I think.

Also, what about the neocon agenda of "pulling yourself up by your on bootstraps"? I mean hell, that is all you hear from this bunch regarding any social program.
Why is SSI different for them?
That is the question to ask them.
We know about the 2 trillion dollar money grab for shrub's wall street buddies, but I would like to hear from the repugs why. Why the "pull yourself by...." doesn't apply, in their minds, here.
