on the Big Pic, Tommy also mentioned how in 1998 Bill was ready to cut Social Security with help from Repug. Newt Gingrich (Southern, Boomer buddy) but FATE intervened in the form of Monica Lewinsky.

Just think of that- SS cut, then the 2008 Burndown after the Wall Street Subprime Mortgage fraud and mass misery with millions of home foreclosures, retirement funds and life savings lost, jobs lost, homelessness and poverty.
