Reply #142: Where did I use the arguments you attribute to me?

As for your deflection question, my reply #89 has a fact of what the Obama administration is doing regarding Social Security right now that Greider saw fit to omit from his piece.

Add to that, upon Obama's inauguration, Social Security recipients were first on the list to receive real help in the form of $250.00 checks to make up almost all of the COLA increase that had been cut from Bush's 2009 budget.

Add to that, the only talk I've seen of reducing benefits are of reducing benefits to those with high incomes, a la John McCain, who collects Social Security. Does he need it? Hell no.

Edited to add: So how does the actions of the Obama administration so far add up in Greider's book to Obama now wanting to turn on a dime and "whack" old people? Sounds like Greider needs to step away from his Soprano's dvds.

You can Google for the information I've posted here. Past experience tells me that while it's considered good form to go beserk here over hyperbolic misinformation, posting facts and links to back up one's own assertions are greeted with less enthusiasm.
