She had him on the ropes about cutting SSI. She is right about what needs to be done, and he keeps going back to "fixing it" to end the waste bullshit.

I don't give a shit how a black person or Tony from Queens says "ask," as "axe."

The point is that the third rail is on us.

It's not Democrat vs Republican. It's the 1 percent versus all of the rest of us and they are winning.

Jeez.
