If anything at all, SS needs to be STRENGTHENED. [View all]

The current CPI-W is a fraud. It doesn't accurately reflect the inflation, only the reaction to that.

I say abandon the CPI-W and install a new system that accurately reflects the current cost of living.

And what better to start is by giving us a 75% boost in SS income, and remove the fucking cap.

SS will remain solvent forever.

And it does not even fucking add to the deficit.

Republicans needs to be extinct yesterday - and we need to get new candidates warmed up in time for '14. And they better start pounding the ground to introduce themselves and try to get the low info people informed.
