Sp how many Dem's would they need to buy or blackmail or threaten?
Or how about compromising and instead of chained CPI create individual retirement accounts...from some of the SS tax we pay (just a little at first but it can be changed upward once established and no one will notice)...nice little present to Wall Street.

It is the same as that old saying...Would you fuck me for ten bucks?
Hell no....how about a million...well maybe...well now that we have established that you are a whore we are just negotiating on price.

Once they have established that SS is a problem then we are just negotiating how much to cut.
