They're coming after your Social Security ... again.

An illustrious gaggle of Dem and Thug Senators plan to hold up health care, that is what little they are actually doing for health care, until Pelosi agrees to "turn the power to trim entitlement benefits over to an independent commission." Once the Dems and Thugs get such a thing in place they can claim they have nothing to do with the shrinking of SS or Medicare support (that we pay for with our tax and payroll dollars) while they will continue to fund, without question, endless war and crooked bankers.

Seriously, this is Shock Doctrine lunacy of the most obvious kind. Conrad and Bayh are out there saying it right up front. The government has poured trillions into the economy to save the banks and run useless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the old people and the poor are going to have to pay the price. That's the way it works.

Don't expect Obama to care. He's one of them ...
