Sooooooooooo, tell us all, just WHY it is that you think that charging people who make $90,000 and up, for SS, is a Conservative position and a good thing. Then, you can explain to us why pulling off a coup d'etat/forming a shadow government, with Dems, who will stab us in the back, as soon as look at us, and turning a GOP majority into the minority, WITHOUT the populace's permission or vote, are reasons to "like" this man and the rest of the morons in the gang of 7.
I disagree with the whole removing the cap thing, but removing the cap can be defending from a Conservative standpoint on the Barry Goldwater standard. Namely, Goldwater was known of being suspicious of revenue reductions, because while he wanted to trim government, as long as government was big, you needed to take in enough money so that you wouldn't run a deficit. That's just normal economics. If you or I ran the kind of deficits the national government runs yearly, we'd be bankrupt.
Shadow government? What are you some kind of conspiracy theorist? Do you honestly think that anything goes on in Washington without everybody knowing it? They didn't go behind anyone's back their was no coup d'etat (a nice french word). They did exactly what they were elected to do talk to each other! Oh my goodness what a horrible thing! Most of the Judges will get reccess appointments anyway so nothing was lost.
As for SS, since the '80's I've been told it will run out before I can ever collect, so you know what I'm not counting on it and have made my own investments so, whatever happens happens. And honestly, I'm still researching the information about private accounts and the other plans that have been bandied about for SS reform. All of the plans have pluses and minuses. I don't know for sure which one I endorse. And you still need to read my earlier post abot South Carolina election law.
