It isn't the "R's" proposing this"chained CPI" for SS. It is "our" democratic, corporate owned (just like any person who is now allowed to run for president by TPTB) "D" president...
Of course Obama has said that if we don't like the way he does things, we need to "make him" change.
Unless we actually take to the streets by the millions, not a damned thing will change. Unfortunately, by the time the ignorant, lazy, self-satisfied, Amerikan people realize that their head is on the chopping block too, it will be way too late, if it is not already. Why don't we try and see?
This will give the masters a perfect reason to install an "R" as president next term.
It makes me glad that I am dying, I'm fed up with watching this country become the fascist regime that it has become. I hope that my children will heed my advice and raise their children in a society who is afraid of their citizenry. Hell, we out-number them by about 300 million to a few thousand, here. Yet we are too ignorant to act.
Did you see where a McDonald's employment ad required a bachelor's degree to apply for a cashier position? Soon that will be the rule, not an exception. We have nearly destroyed our Unions, who in the hell is going to stand-up for average Americans if we don't?
America has become the world's asshole. The rest of the world knows it.
BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT. DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM, NOT UNFETTERED CAPITALISM.
