Since when is not saying what you really mean saying what you really mean?
Since when is it a good thing that we have to rely on the right to save social security by not taking Obama up on his offer?

Look stop with the game analogies. Just say what you mean and mean what you say.

and my response is the same.

This topic should NEVER have come up. We shouldn't be discussing it.

You know why?

Because social security does not accrue to the deficit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's self funded.

I don't CARE what the reason/excuse/bullshit being give as the reason or the result.

No one gets to throw the poor, elderly and disabled to the wolves for ANY REASON.

is seriously concerned about it. To try to make it sound like he's setting a mouse trap is misleading. We need to be aware of what is going on, so we can try to make it right.
