The Freepers are attacking the Dems on Soc Sec by saying, what's your plan?
Well the answer to Soc Sec Phase Out is the same as the answer to the Invasion of Iraq. The Dem plan was "DON'T INVADE IRAQ"!!
The Dem plan is "DON'T PHASE OUT SOC SEC"!!!

2. Yep
They have something up their sleeves. Don't fall for it! I don't think they will though. From the anti-private account rally they had last month they were saying "no compromise."

3. True dog and pony show
We have a President who is spending millions in tax payer money traveling around the country trying to sell a SS plan where they cut benefits and line the pockets of fund companies. When the President is asked anything about it, he says he has no plan, and where is the Dems plan? HUH?

4. What is with this "so show us your plan" shit?
WE are not in power. ANYWHERE. Republicans control everything, including the courts to rubber-stamp their bullshit. If they cannot muster enough support for their plans to get their agenda through, maybe they need to re-think their agenda! They just don't get it. We, the people, will get behind a good idea by a sincere presenter. But the republicans have come to think they just because THEY want it, the other half of the country will simply bend over and take it. Maybe a civics course should be required for these guys. They should have to earn CU's or something, to show that they've kept up with the law and modern societal evolution.

Hey freeps...YOUR guy started this mess. He called everyone to the table to play his game, and when everyone said, "Hey, your game is stupid!" he's getting mad at THEM for not having something better.

It just doesn't work that way, freeps.

5. It maybe political suicide but plan should be to tax the "wealthy"
Get rid of that 90k cap crap and have every American pay their fair share, "crisis" averted then.
