7. Excellent comment, thank you. Bernie Sanders sees right through the privatizers' scam.

Not only that, but sadly, he is one of the few who has the guts to contradict the lies about SS told by the neo-liberals and Republicans.

What I don't get is why this is not a HUGE debate, pushed by Dems and all over the media, explaining to the public about the surplus, they lie about that, and assuring them that it WILL be there for them even if no one does a thing, for the next 30 years or so.

And that with a few adjustments it can be made secure for a century, ask Bernie to explain.

And that is what makes me nervous. This is such a winning issue for Democrats and yet they do not come out strongly against the lies, some of them even willing to go along with them.

That is why people like Warren are becoming so popular with Democrats. She speaks plainly about the issues and doesn't send confusing messages on issues like this.

We need to do something about this party, focus on Congress rather than the WH because if Congress is made up of one whole party owned by Wall St, and half the other one, it won't matter who is in the WH, Wall St wins anyhow.
