that SS has nothing to do with the Deficit. They know, thanks to all the Progressive Orgs who are working hard to stop this from going through, what a Chained CPI means. So the attempt to bamboozle the people has failed.

Playing Russian Roullete with the people's future, especially the most vulnerable people, is simply wrong.

How about honesty for a change? How refreshing that would be.

We've been through this so many times. The Leadership is not answering their phones when the people call. Maybe if we pretended to be Wall St lobbyists they would respond?

So sick of it all.
