We should have been talking real accounting like "The fund dry-up year was 2033, now it's 2032. Thanks, Republicans!"

I heard a lot of pandering to sweetie-pie stuff and class resentment and tired scare words and hearkening back to FDR. No numbers. No fire. We better as hell get our act together before this next election. This bill should give us back Congress with a healthy majority.
