social safety net, the only way it EVER happened, was for Democrats to speak out LOUDLY and tell the public, WE WILL NEVER compromise on SS.

And that is what people are worried about, the Ryan Plan and the Heritage Foundation Plan, and the Third Way Plan, which is all over the place right now. So who is going to stop them?? You're telling something WE KNOW. We are asking that Democrats speak out NOW and tell them to take their plans and shove them. And the PEOPLE in huge majorities are behind them doing that, across political lines.

So, as you point out, we see the Ryan Plan. What we are waiting for is to hear from the Democratic Leadership telling the country that they will never, ever go along with any tampering, no 'fixing' no 'strengthening' unless that means 'raising the cap' no raising the age limit, none of these weasel words mean anything unless they are clarified.

So what is your solution to stop Ryan who is only a front guy for the far right? Who should be fighting Ryan? Where are the strong statements from the Dem Leadership telling them SS is never going to be on the table, ever, except to raise the cap, INCREASE benefits and no way are they going to raise the retirement age?

Or are you advocating that the Dem Leadership say nothing about an issue that is a sure winner for them because all polls show that a vast majority of the people do not want Ryan or anyone else touching SS??
