Reply #23: Oh yeah. Just the presidency. Just the difference between Republicans passing whatever laws they [View All]

want, and the difference between them not passing anything.

You are basically saying that if Obama proposes (say) means-testing the program (which is already means-tested somewhat, since the benefit index is progressive), you will knowingly and admittedly enable a Republican's victory, after which they can pass into law:

a voucherization of Medicare
a privatization of SS
a flat tax
a gradual end to Medicaid

all because you have "principles" (a.k.a. spite). Hope it works out well for you.
