#2 President Obama is eager to seek a bipartisan solution to ensure the long-term solvency of Social Security,...

So did Ronald Reagan and George Bush and they got the raised index finger from your party and denunciation that the Trunks were going to do away with SS to scare little old ladies into voting Donk. What goes around, comes around. Stick it right back at them. Tar them with trynig to 'destroy' SS.

Mr. Obama considered announcing the formation of a Social Security task force..

Been there numerous times. Why just dust off the old task force recommendations or would that mean conceding maybe the Trunks had a fundamental point and that you won't be able to claim ownership for posterity?

When they want "Bi-Partisan" that means its going to stink and they want spread it all around. As demonstrated with the largest pork deficit bill in history, you have the votes to push it through Congress. Take ownership dude.

#4 Social Security is a dead man walking. And most younger people know that. Obama's best bet is to kill it quick, along with Medicare, then spend the rest of his time in office trying to soothe the pissed off recipients.

When dominoes like the T-bill bubble, national retirement bubble, the alt-a and ARM mortgage bubble burst, the era of government largesse is dead.
