After a dramatic week, Social Security is again off the table

[ProSense]

57. That's me: audacious.

"You know, Prosense, it is exactly this type of spinning that just makes people feel angrier, and more helpless. When they are repeatedly fed a narrative that is completely at odds with what they have witnessed with their own eyes, it is hard to conclude that the party and its mouthpieces view us with anything other than contempt."

Here's what we "witnessed": Social Security was put on the table in these negotiations, and then taken off.

You had nothing to do with that outcome. You are "helpless."

You tell everyone they should feel the same.

There were others who did protest, and believe their voices were heard.

You are having a hard time believing that its no longer part of the negotiations because you invested so much energy in wanting the cut so that it could bolster your indictment of the President.

It didn't happen. Other people are glad. Not you.

I repeat, this is an ongoing struggle: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2052837
