In the pre-computerized past the conventional wisdom in Washington held that tampering with Medicare and/or Social Security was political suicide. So the obvious question is why are so many elected Republicans so eager to tempt fate?Now if the GOP will act accordingly on raising taxes on the rich. They need to listen to the people who elected them.
But how much do you want to bet they give the American people a big "FUCK YOU" and protect the wealthy at the expense of the people who can least afford it?

It occurs to me that this is no longer the pre-computerized past and the Republicans have gotten the word that the fix is in. Aside from foreknowledge of corrupted voting machines I can't think of any reason why the Republicans are so willing to piss off the biggest and most reliable voting block of all. Seniors.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
