(62,325 posts)your pension, that is just so wrong. But who do we have to blame really? You've been here on DU. Remember all the attacks on anyone who tried to bring up these issues DURING election season? We are told to stfu because 'there's an election coming up'. As if that is not the BEST TIME to let our politicians know what we expect of them.
We KNEW when they said 'SS will not be discussed during the election' that a deal was already made.
Now we have to work even harder to stop them. It is going to destroy the Dem Party if the open the door to the SS fund even a crack, and I hope they know it. Best way to let them know is to post on the WH blog and to call Reps, both Repubs and Dems. And to join all the organizations who were worried about this before the election, and formed a huge coalition to stop them.
