1. "There is no justification to cut Social Security benefits. No to throwing seniors off

the fiscal cliff. No to a Cat Food Christmas.”

3. Why does this all seem so scripted?

[FSogol]

4. Because 2014 will be here before you know it and there's not much

time to suppress liberal voting?

[leftstreet]

7. Now why would Democrats want to suppress their own base?

Hmm...

[FSogol]

10. I can't think of any reason, unless...

they aren't really Democrats. Could it really be that simple?

[Report1212]

5. Because members of congress have press staffs who help them write statements?

Looking for a different answer?

[forestpath]

6. Most of congress doesn't care if seniors are reduced to eating catfood.

As long as the rich are protected.

9. They know which side of their bread is buttered.

12. I am a recipient of Social Security,

but doubt that I will ever eat cat food because I am a vegetarian.

13. Fret not: individually mandated private Cat Food Savings Accounts are next!

This measure will ensure, through the miracle of forced individually purchased cat food insurance products, that tomorrow's seniors never run out of cat food in their golden years. Unless of course there is a crash sometime in the future, and it turns out Wall St. was gambling like drunken sailors with seniors' CFSA contributions and pissed them all away. But that would never happen.

15. Obama will stand strong for a Catfood Public Option

The Democrats have had decades to propose and enact legislation that lets all Americans share in the wealth

But they just keep fucking us over

[Autumn]

14. While Obama and Boner will continue to

eat fucking prime rib and drink fine wine.

[aka-chmeee]

17. Only until the price of catfood increases and can then be replaced by dogfood. nt

[Bobbie Jo]

19. cat food is not that cheap
