has any liberal show talked about the dangers of Chained CPI?

Has anyone talked about what the White House is proposing with the Chained CPI?

Did Rachel or Stephanie or Thom or even Lawrence talked about it.


I believe this is just as important as the sequester or anything else the Republicans are doing. Yes, gun control is very important and we should be holding lawmakers to the fire especially since lawmakers are putting NRA/money ahead of common sense and the american public.

on his radio show. He has had Bernie on talking about it.

5. There is some chance of that. We will know very soon.

It will have to be at least mentioned then. The question is have those liberal hosts been working behind the scenes preparing for how they will cover it when it becomes official or are they literally simply trying to avoid it as much as possible?

4. Someone on MSNBC covered it in the last few months

Sorry, I don't remember who it was. It was during one of our Congressional Dramatic Moments earlier this year.

Basically, it cuts benefits because it assumes that people will buy less expensive things to compensate for increased prices on other items. So, since prices are too expensive for them to afford, they buy less expensive things instead, which means they don't need as much in their monthly check. Brilliant, eh?

Obama should just line up America's seniors and beat them with a stick.

6. Martin Bashir is the only

one who has spoken about it.
Tweety too but he thought it was a great thing for Obama to do, he should even do it without the tax cuts it was so good. He had JoyAnn Reid on with him and she fully and enthusiastically agreed.
