The destruction of Social Security has always been a goal of the Right, even now when it has become obvious why it is needed. Those who were depending on their investments for retirement have been rudely awakened by the risk inherent in investing, i.e. you can lose everything.

The private pension funds are the first things that get looted by Wall Street when they have an opportunity, and, more than one bankruptcy was declared for no other reason than to access that pool of funds. You can ask anyone you thought they were going to get a retirement after working for one corporation their entire life what a great deal that has been for them, especially those in telecommunications, airlines, manufacturing, and the media.

Chile is a wonderful example of what will happen to the US if they get to attack Social Security. It will be a disaster, and anyone who has actually looked at what happened knows it.

This is all about transferring everything of value to the top 2% of the country.

And have been writing about it since the Inauguration (almost).

Nothing has been right (except for a few cookies tossed to his base to keep them in line) since the choice of Geithner and Summers.

They are loyal to no one except the wealthy. They are true believers that the wealthy are the important people in this civilization, and that everyone else is collateral damage.

Too bad our very large group (base) cannot convince them that this is not true.

But oh, if we could.

Verdad?
