These Democrats are so “into” benchmarks in Iraq: I want benchmarks for all of their social programs... Let’s see the benchmarks for The War on Poverty! Or reforming Social Security and Medicare!
Dems couldn’t stand benchmarks because their policies are based on fictions and a history showing that their social engineering never works. But don’t you dare hold them accountable for it!
Anyone who truly wanted the senior vote would take up the cause of the 25% of poor old women who are impoverished after their husbands die to to quirks in the Social Security law. We all know one or two of them trying to get by on $500/mo, and they have children. Acting as if the status quo is perfect flies in the face of reality, and commissions have reccommended changing that. This is the situation the law was passed to prevent, yet we still have it after 70 years.
