20. "The enema man"?
Good heavens, why is Alan Simpson testifying before Congress, anyway? Oh, that's right; to fill us all in on the final report of his Catfood Commission. The final report that was never issued, with findings that were never endorsed by the commission. But, as I predicted months ago when this charade was shambling to its conclusion, the fact that a final report was never issued will only be noticed by beady-eyed nit-pickers. The rest of Official Washington will simply pretend that the Commission made findings and issued a report and go from there.

Where?

Toward raising the retirement age (work until you're 90, you fucking slackers!), cutting benefits for future retirees (you'll get by fine on $357 a month!), and means testing (so much easier in the future to cut a "welfare" program for poor people than to monkey with benefits everyone gets).
