If Rachel doesn't lead with Social Security, then...

[cthulu2016]

well, nothing really. I'll still like her more than anyone else on the TV machine.

But it is alienating as hell that the deficit is about as much of a threat as Saddam's WMD, and is being taken just as seriously.



Fuck this dumb-ass "If I say what the Republicans know is what the liberals think the blue dogs know that they know then looking at it sideways..."

There will be no grand bargain, and thank God for that!

Propose right answers. Propose whatever is BEST.

And if Republicans vote it down then they vote it down. They will vote "it" down no matter what's in it.

So propose what is RIGHT.

[neverforget]

1. Well, at least Chris Hayes finally talked about it with my Senator Jeff "Emo" Merkley

Jonathan Alter, part of the Beltway Centrist Bobbleheads, just loves Chained CPI because well increasing the cap is just not possible.

[cthulu2016]

2. Alter really made an ass of himself. (WH briefings work)

[neverforget]

3. At least the Talking Heads are happy!

Seniors, the Left, not so much.

[NYC_SKP]

4. Crickets? (nt)

[PearliePoo2]

5. So far...no Social Security discussion

I'm still listening!

[cthulu2016]

6. *sigh*... f'ing guns again. Shiny object. Whatevs.

[Raine]

9. Yes exactly and don't pay any attention to what is going on behind the curtain. nt

[Raine]

8. I'm done with her and the rest, they are failing to cover how

everyone is being screwed over.

[woo me with science]

11. Our purchased media.

[NYC_SKP]

12. Still nothing... SS topic sequed into immigration and now the supreme court. nt

[dburner1]

14. Likewise.

Used to watch the whole lineup in the evening,Matthews, Sharpton,Ed,Maddow and O'Donnell, with Ed banished to weekends I now do not bother with MSNBC. (Still looking for
ed to appear on weekends)

[Control-Z]

10. Her show is great tonight,

as usual, and a nice change from more of the same about SS.

[winter is coming]

13. She's covering it now. Points for using the phrase, "punch the hippie". n/t

[TheProgressive]

15. Really Ms. Maddow? - a 'portion of the liberal base' is opposed?

A portion?

Sorry - Chris Hayes program was weak and Rachel Maddow's program is weak. Both
are for the c-cpi... At least they are being PAID to be for the c-cpi.

This is fucking unbelievable... We all are being had.

Obama said that '90% of Americans want background checks - it 'should not be a heavy lift [to
have Congress pass it]. Yet, a majority of ALL Americans want to strengthen SS but it is on the
table to to cut.

Traitors... all of them...

[octoberlib]

17. Chris Hayes said that chained cpi was a bad idea

and that he was in favor of raising the cap. He also said he's planning a show on expanding the social safety net,

[TheProgressive]

18. Yes he did , but it was luke warm

[dawg]

20. Give him a break.

Maybe he doesn't want to get Cenk'd.

[TheProgressive]

21. When it comes a fundamental Democratic and *humane* program like SS -

I give nobody a break

[NOVA_Dem]

24. She actually did a good job cutting through his BS.

[HarmonyRockets]

16. The segment starts,

Rachel starts talking about social security, and... her guest is David Axelrod.

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. He spewed bs and she called him on it

Excellent job Rachel.

[bullwinkle428]

22. She kind of tore him a new one when he suggested that EVERYONE

was saying "just leave SS alone and it will be fine"!

Bravo, Rachel!

[TheProgressive]

23. Yes, at the end, she did a good job.

Like I said last night, this should be a continuing story with all sorts of
fancy graphs, etc like she does.
