It is good to have a heads up on their plans and ideals, and Republicans running should use her testimony before Congress and her statements today.
Otherwise we will find ourselves in the same pickle as Obamacare, when Freepers were warning us not to get hysterical...the House can't pass it...then the Senate can't pass it, you know the drill.
Btw, the sky has already fallen, when they stole generations of your family's earnings and your private healthcare.
I agree, but so far I don't see any Republicans taking her seriously -- because they know that Democrats aren't taking her seriously.

Obamacare will be history, precisely because the Democrats thought they could jam it through and not suffer consequences. And without Obamacare, the Republicans would be without a rallying cry and still be in the minority in 2011.
But, if the Republicans hadn't been acting like Democrat-lite for the past 8 years, Obamacare wouldn't have even been on the radar. It was Republican fecklessness that gave us 60 Democrats in the Senate -- and the only way Obamacare could ever have been enacted.
Maybe the Republicans will finally learn that lesson and we'll never have to face that situation again. And maybe at least this generation of voters have learned to not fall for an empty suit like Obama.
However, I can safely make one prediction: if the Democrats do try to go after retirement assets, it would be the end of the party as we know it in the next election. They would go the way of the Whigs (which disappeared due to their position on slavery). Sure, a similar party would pop up in its place, but they would disavow any agreement with the Democrats on this particular issue.
Social Security is a vague promise. 401(k) and IRA's are money in the bank.
