Dirty Work

Dirty Work

I've been meaning to discuss this post over at Angry Bear for a while, but just couldn't get it together. So, I'll just link it and let you read it for yourself. I think it makes a good case for something I've felt instinctively since this event. They really do plan to "reform"social security, particularly now that they are under siege, which is automatically interpreted as a message that they've gone too far left. Sadly, this chaotic political environment virtually guarantees that the Democrats will do everything they can think of to convince Real Americans that they aren't foolishly spending taxpayer dollars, and they will stupidly do it by disturbing something that Real Americans need and value. There is nothing that the GOP would love more than for the Democrats to volunteer to be the instrument that destroys America's faith in social security.
