(12,504 posts)"Obama DID include Chained CPI in negotiations"...from your heading. You know very well it's one small portion of the whole and topic of CPI in and of itself, truly tells us very little of the nature or the direction of that discussion.

You try to whip up a frenzy by deliberately excluding the big picture...or even without even SOME of the bigger picture of the full negotiation, or even factual evidence of the direction of the negotiation. We don't know what they are detailing about the CPI..but you'd rather spread the 'rumor' that feeds your agenda. Lying by omission or mis-applying the direction of the discussion serves no useful service rather than to spread fear.
