Check this out: What seems like a good thing is actually disguising support to stop Soc Security!

I just joined DU a few minutes ago, though I have followed it
for a long time. I woke up angry about the supposed
'Commission' and dashed off a little note to them expressing
my opinion of them and what they stand for. More people need
to let them know they will face huge mounting opposition. And
that they will suffer at the polls despite their plans to hold
off their pronouncements until after the next election.
Certainly no one with any knowledge of Simpson or Bowles can
have serious doubts about the conclusion. Simpson says he gets
most of his protests from old geezers who won't be affected. I
am one of them, but unlike him, some of us have a stake in
future generations in this country. The text follows:

As a retired American with a disabled wife, both of whom
worked for many years and paid into Social Security and other
funds which you mislabel as 'entitlements', I object
vehemently to what you are preparing to do to your own people.
Everyone knows that many of you have been part of systematic
raids on the funds that have been set up to care for people
who have spent lifetimes working as proud Americans and have
received diminished returns on their good faith. Simpson and
Bowles are the rich clowns chosen to lead this parade to the
cemetery for generations of loyal Americans, and are a certain
indication of the destination.

I am ashamed of you heartless puppets, many of whom are
wealthy through no talent or industry of your own. And I will
do what I can to support groups who oppose you at every turn.
In fact, you are setting the stage for a revolt of the people
which will be talked about throughout future history. It has,
of course, been revealed that we have not only the most
expensive, but one of the worst health care systems in the
industrialized world and your response is preparation to gut
it further to the point of its toal destruction.

I am ashamed I voted for Obama. I thought he would stand up
and dismantle this embarrassing war machine, and make sensible
changes for the good of the citizens of this country. But I
would have thought that some of you would, too. And,
coincidentally, had we fallen for the laughable Bush
'privatization' vouchers we would all be 20% poorer now. I
grew up loving this country. And I still love it for what it
was once, and for the fact that it practiced the ideals stated
in the Constitution. Britain, France, and many other civilized
nations now have more of those ideals than we do. This is a
sad time in America.

Please write to commission@fc.eop.gov , everyone, but
especially people under 55. You have the most to lose here.
Ring their damned bells until they realize how much they stand
to lose. And send Simpson's geezer ass back into the
retirement that we all pay for.
