Rightardia fully supports the manifesto of Pavlovian Obeisance. Democrats need to stick to their guns and not compromise on Social Security, the bogus Bush deficit busting tax cuts or Elizabeth Warren.
Democrats led by Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Raul Grijalva are drawing a line in the sand before the White House's fiscal commission:
If your report recommends cuts or other changes to Social
Security, they will say, you'll lose our support.
In a letter to be sent to President Obama, House Democrats will pledge to vote against any legislation based on the commission's report unless Social Security is taken off the table.
Bush appointed plenty of wingnuts while he was in office: Gale Norton, Elizabeth Chou and John Bolton come to mind. Democrats didn't elect Obama to be meek.
Rightardia also objects to raising the Social Security age because most seniors will be lucky to hold onto their jobs when they reach age 60. Age Discrimination Laws are weak in the US and most corporations know they can layoff senior workers without fear of a lawsuit or other reprisal.
