When Bernie Sanders first started warning about chained cpi, I was a firm believer that the Democrats were free from the 1% money machine. Now that I have started watching the EU, the central banks as well as American current events, I am starting to wonder if we really ever had a Democracy at all. Anyways, I no longer think of the Party as a sacred cow.
Some, however, do not want to hear any dissent. They do not like finding themselves in the role of an apologist for the man they think of as unimpeachable. They will even go so far as to tell you that the cut isn't a cut. Gee, I hope the GOP doesn't read that. "hey, you offered me a cut that wasn't a cut! "
The real problem here is that it should be easy to do the right thing and raise the cap on ss and cut military spending. But we are ruled by the Rich. Because of them, millions suffer every day. Because of them, we will one day sow the seeds of our own extinction.
All because we have not evolved much, politically.
We still are ruled by Lords and Ladies, but they no longer have to do the dirty work. They can buy politicians and remain anonymous.
Oops, gotta go back to work....
