Hey Unsensible Emo Prog Firebaggers: This Time I'm *Sure* I Got It Right!!!

57. It's Hyper-Dimentional Non-Euclidean Chess

But I should think that even political simpletons can understand this much...

If the Champion of the People, President Obama, believes that Social Security needs to be cut, then Social Security DEFINATELY needs to be cut! Call your congressman and DEMAND cuts today!

Also, it's not a cut anyway. It's really an increase disguised as a reduction. Allow me to explain. Today a senion can feast on a can of regular cat food that costs about a buck. In ten years a can of savory cat food will cost two bucks. Now you might wonder how our senior will get by, considering that he will no longer have enough money to buy cat food for the entire month. But here's the amazong secret. According to the magic of Chained CPI, the genetically modified cat food of 2022 will be so far superior to today's cat food that it is actually worth exactly twice as much, so even though the price doubled and your check got smaller, there wasn't actually any real inflation at all. It just looks that way because you have to spend twice as much for what looks like exactly the same thing. But really you totally ended up ahead of the game.

And in any case, there is no reason that responsible thrifty seniors cannot bypass the 'elite' brand cat foods and go with something generic. Even if their preferred brand doubles in price, if there is a cheaper alternative we still say that there was no inflation. Only when we can no longer find a generic substitute OR explain the increased price with increased quality will we then say that there was some inflation.

Cool huh!

But anyway, since I don't want to be banned or called a GOP secret agent, I am supporting President Obama, Champion of the People, in his very necessary crusade to trash social security. It's the liberal thing to do.
