Well not this, but a link to this...

http://money.msn.com/retirement-plan/5-myths-about-social-security-weston.aspx?GT1=33042

Anyone who is remotely interested in business will, more than likely, stop by the MSN Money site.

This article pretty much spells out, from a Wall Street perspective, that their is no emergency with Social Security.

Couple that with the US News and World report story blasting the GOP and laying blame for this ginned up "crisis" right where it belongs, at the feet of the republican party and we have a potential sea change from the establishment media.

This is not going to go well for the GOP, no sir.

Throw in the Illinois dead beat daddy with the big mouth congressman, and we have the grounds to grind them into the ground and put them back on their heels...

If, and this a big if, the people who are the democratic party have the balls to pull the trigger....

Until then, it is up to us to keep pounding this story.

Right now, I am sending a link to everyone in my EMail list a link to this article in todays MSN Money page...

1. If Obama comes out of this with a clean bill the Republicans are toast.
If he doesn't then it will be one ugly 2012.

2. So very true...
The article really explains the state of the trust fund in non apocalyptic language.

3. He won't. He will give them what they want even though it's unnecessary and
will hurt the rest of us.
It's what he always does. He goes them one better.

4. Except that, from what the media say, he did not. On the contrary.

6. How ironic that Wall Street is now nervous....

We get those with clout ($$$) to see the teabaggers for the dangerous joke they are, yet how do we use it so these same Wall Street thugs don't continue to control DC?

If Obama would stand up much more firmly and consistently against Wall Street and mega corporations in his ACTIONS, it could turn the tide for this country.

7. My (non-Fox) Republican friends are furious
Talked to two last night, and they believe the GOP has put their businesses and their savings at risk.

Neither blames Obama (neither think he's liberal, though, which they consider good and I consider horrifying)
