are more concerned about being painted into a tax and spend corner by the GOP, which will happen anyway, than looking out for the people that supported them.
I get it, it's adult to consider the needs of the whole vs. placating the base, but when you put your own political career, your own legacy above the future of our country... Well, that's a whole other kind of selfish.
I know, I know, they are thinking that if they can just get passed this they will live to fight another day. But really, how hard have they fought, especially for those who are deeply concerned about the future and the foundation of their retirement that they have depended on while pension funds went the way of the Dodo Bird and their 401k's were downsized by the manipulative scoundrels who wear $100k suits and strut down Wall Street.
The thing is once SS is determined to be touchable, then forget about it. It will disappear into the hands of the richest people who will have their low tax rates subsidized by your FICA contributions.
Onces it is no longer considered political suicide to raid the "entitlement" cupboard, it will be bare before you can say Goldman Sachs.
We are fucked. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but sooner than you think.
They have been dying to get their grubby hands on the SS fund and now president Obama and leader Reid are bending over backward to let them get at it.
Again, once the door is open, their ain't a strong enough Katie in all the world to bar that door.
I'm sick and tired of the little people, the people who tote the barge and make it all work, being pissed on by the elites in this seriously out of whack society of ours.
But wait, they stopped NFL labor unrest. Distraction reinstated.
What does that really say about our country that the only really successful Union left is the NFL players Union whose members have shown their solidarity many times by walking right on past Union Picket Lines.
Fuck! Fuck it all!
