ThinkProgress filed this report from the Republican presidential debate in Simi Valley, California.

Though many have wondered if there was any policy position too extreme for the modern Republican Party, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has found one: abolishing Social Security.

During Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate in Simi Valley, California, Perry repeated his pronouncement that Social Security is both a “Ponzi scheme” and a “monstrous lie.” This follows up on Perry’s own book, in which he says the popular retirement program is unconstitutional and “violently toss aside any respect for our founding principles.”

2. Says The Candidate Who Said That He Supports Ryan's Medicare Voucher Program

Finally, Romney is not saying what he means by saying that he would save Social Security. Would he save it the way Ryan is "saving" Medicare, by privitizing it?

3. Hey! Isn't that what Democrats are supposed to say?

At least, they used to.
