SS and Chained CPI should have NEVER been put on the table! Big MISTAKE and EPIC FAIL!! But, we "wishy-washy Lefties" just didn't get what the President was trying to do. You know, we didn't know what he was trying to do because it NEVER MADE SENSE to me and many other "Liberals". So much for multi-dimensional chess!!
