Democrats Want to Revive Soc. Sec. Issue

[cal04]

Social Security has drifted out of the national debate, but Democrats, eyeing the senior vote, are trying to revive the issue -- just in time for the midterm elections.

Democratic leaders are advising their party's congressional candidates to focus on what the Republicans might do to Social Security given the chance.

''The president hasn't given up yet, even though the American people resoundingly rejected his proposal for private accounts,'' said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Politicians from both parties acknowledge Social Security is likely to face insolvency in future years as the population ages, although they don't agree on the solutions.

2. Didn't they just do that to sing God Bless America

with the same asshats who are dismantling the constitution?

They will bring up social security and then some republican media mouth will yell "class warfare partisan politics" and they will stutter and go silent. Same as it ever was.

Defend social security. Extend medicare to everyone. Get out of Iraq. Grow a fucking spine!
