Social Security belongs to the American people. It is not Obama's to bargain with.

91. Complacency....

...is a large part of what got us into the gargantuan MESS we're in today as a nation. For 40 years we all sat there like Little Muffet on our little Tuffets eating curds & whey while the GOP, the Pete Petersons, the Kochs, the Rupert Murdochs, the Jamie Dimons, the Lloyd Blankfeins, ALEC, the NRA et al conspired (and succeeded) in yanking our very lives, human rights, wages, jobs and economic security right out from beneath us. By now, they've largely succeeded.

So, if YOU want to sit there prim and proper and be a good little submissive child while they continue this lecherous, immoral campaign of theirs - while an alleged DEMOCRAT advocates for cuts to our Social Security program (and this is something that no Democrat has ever done), you are welcome to do so.

I however, will NOT.

But here's the thing: YOU don't get to control other people's behavior. You can only control your own. Therefore, you are absolutely privileged and free to refrain from reading any other threads here - and/or any of mine in particular - on the subject of Social Security. You cannot stop me or anyone else though from posting about it, grouse as you may.

Good Day!
