Bernie Sanders Cracks The CODED THREAT To Entitlements In Obama’s State Of The Union

[TBF]

14. This has been an issue since Mr. Obama's first SOTU

Here is the journal I wrote awhile ago about the DLC attack on social security: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9709855 (some of my links may no longer work but these sources can be traced).

In the first State of the Union address I got chills when President Obama stated that we need to "have a conversation" about Social Security:

"To preserve our long-term fiscal health, we must also address the growing costs in Medicare and Social Security. Comprehensive health care reform is the best way to strengthen Medicare for years to come. And we must also begin a conversation on how to do the same for Social Security, while creating tax-free universal savings accounts for all Americans."

Found a new source for this quote because it is critical - http://www.usnews.com/news/obama/articles/2009/02/25/president-obamas-address-to-a-joint-session-of-congress?page=7

The 1% (Wall Street) want Social Security - specifically they want it privatized so they make the transaction fees. It's a bad idea but you'll find them hawking it on both sides of the aisle.
