I have to agree SS isn't going anywhere and all the pushing in the world isn't going to change any minds right now. If the whole thing is SS with a smattering of energy policy I will be very unhappy.
Agree with whom? I didn't state S.S. was going nowhere. I stated it could be further along than it is with better PR and cooperation from Republican Representatives too squemish to take a stand. It certainly isn't dead.
As to tonight's conference, since it was announced it was about S.S. and energy and this stands to disappoint you, I'm not certain why you'd watch. It's not as though they are engaging in false advertising about the intent of this conference so your disappointment would be of your own making by hoping otherwise.
