To all those who have been telling us for months . . .
. . . often in the most condescending manner possible, that this President will never propose Social Security cuts, and who told those of us who were trying to sound the alarm that we were either just chicken-little-sky-is-falling types who just didn't understand eleventy-dimensional chess, or that we somehow "enjoyed" complaining about the President and would seize on any opportunity to do so, since he has now officially proposed those cuts in the form of chained CPI, y'all can start apologizing any day now . . .

for just a moment? Those decrying the this Chain CPI thing are self-interested folks, hiding behind the elderly, the poor, the disabled and/or veterans.
This "concern" for the poor and elderly and disabled and veterans is a cannard, because those that will be affected WILL NOT be the elderly or the poor or veterans or the disabled; but those (non-poor, non-disabled, non-elderly, non-veterans) folks like me ... with (or planning on) some form of retirement income that is less than what we would like to have to live on.
But I understand the reason for the cannard ... it plays a lot better than "I want my SS with as much in COLAs as their willing to offer because I paid into it ... it's mine."
The fact is, from the beginning, every suggestion of instituting a CCPI has included statement indicating that these most vulnerable groups will be exempted from the change.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512978571SBM needs to realize a bunch of white proglodytes want to get that black guy out of their White House because he wants to cut into their gravy.
He should have known the only reason they allowed him come-in out of the fields was because they needed a new house servant.
How many times has 1SBM heard it said, "The Tea Party is racist. They only like West/Carson/Cain/etc because he says things they agree with him!"
Well, if that is the mark of racism I think 1SBM can see for himself the whites at DU on like Obama when he gives them things and says things they like to hear.
As soon as he doesn't it's a veritable public lynching.
Right?
