and who would take a look at the individuals on this commission and honestly expect recommendations beneficial and considerate of regular folk?

Then one step further, who would think you wouldn't have nearly a lockstep Republican party in favor?

Those original co-sponsors won't fall off again and then between the various incarnations of conservadems and those who will vote as Obama and leadership dictate the numbers seem appalling for stopping this.

A non-faith based look at this is at minimum, concerning, if your objective is protecting the program and benefits.

The Joe Cool clan either doesn't give a crap about Social Security (and who knows what hack job they want to do with Medicare) or supports the conservative mentality on this to some degree or another.
