Scammed again by corporatists in both parties.

[JoePhilly]

151. Because we're being scammed by the corpratists in both parties.

And a committee has been created to carry out the scam. And Bernie is on it.

I suppose that Bernie could be against such cuts ... but if Obama and the GOP plan to use that committee to carry out their scam, than Bernie must be in on it.

Unless, maybe the President isn't part of this scam.

And as I've said before, I am against these cuts you speak of. They aren't happening. And I'm against them. But they aren't happening.

As for being difficult to understand ... see ... that's how I feel about these conspiracy theories about Obama's secret plan to kill social security. I mean, way back in 2009, if he really wanted to kill Social Security, the easy way to do it would have been to ask for a stimulus that was way bigger and have that not pass.

See, then the market keeps dropping, the economy is truly a mess, and THAT's when you claim that SS cuts are necessary to save the country. THAT would have made sense.

But that's not what has happened. The economy has improved (complain all you want, but things are much better than in early 2009). The market is UP, UE is back down to 7.3%, and the deficit is dropping.

If this is THE TIME for the President to spring this scam on us, his timing isn't very good. Which is why I have trouble understanding all of you folks who are SURE that the SS cuts are definitely going to happen THIS TIME.

The time to do it, was back then, not now. Unless their plan is far more creative. And getting Bernie to go along with it would be very creative.

See?
