    Well, they're running the House, which can pass first draft versions of all these SS cuts and get them into the reconciliation committee horse trading. And remember Biden's buddy Obama was willing to put SS cuts on the table.

    Uh huh. Who's that right wing guy from the Reagan era whose predictions are always wrong? You're like the the left wing SJ version of that guy.

    Why didn't the SS cuts get any farther when Obama allowed them onto the table? Because the constituents blew their corks, that's why.

    The same reason the bright ideas of SS privatization got blown out of the water when they were floated during the GWB regime.

    You think they already weren't doing this?

    And if there is a guy who deserves zero leniency on any classified docs stuff, it's Mike Pompeo, who went to West Point and has a JD from Harvard.

    Trying to cut Social Security and fucking around with the debt limit. Two GOP strategies that are proven losers. Much like almost everyone in the shitty party.

    Go ahead. Fuck around and find out. And lose everything again in two years.

    All they do is lose elections. They're used to it.
    These people are not about policy.

    Biden's just giving them rope to hang themselves on the debt limit. And if they are stupid enough to vote for it in the House, it won't go anywhere in the Senate and our credit will take a hit anyway, same as it did the last time they played that game. They'll pay in '24 if they push that.

    Social Security has been known as the third rail of American politics ever since I was young. They might as well put a gun in their mouth.
