Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

on Dependents to protect it from privatization, which is the real goal, up to now.

But for the first time, a Dem President put 'SS on the Table' for the Deficit Commission to 'look at'. The lie told in order to do that was that SS had something to do with the Deficit.

It did not.

We need to be more worried than ever now. It is no surprise that Republicans would continue to try to privatize SS but we now have a situation where Dems may be willing to go along with 'reform' when in fact SS doesn't need reform.

What it needs is very little actually.

The cap needs to be lifted first of all.

JOB CREATION and decent, livable wages paid to American workers.

SS depends on people working so everyone can set aside money for their retirement.

They are lying when they say it is in trouble, it isn't.

It needs adjustments, easy adjustments to make, to ensure it continues to be the success it has been for all these decades.

Hopefully they will find out what they always find out when they attempt to tamper with this most successful Fiscal program, across the political spectrum they will be stepping on a 'third rail'.

It is one of the most popular Programs in this country, with Repubs as well as with Dems.
