Simpson-Bowles Zombie Returns

We just can't win can we? What is wrong with democrats? Over 80% say leave social security and Medicare alone and they just have to screw us.

<snip> Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad says he is going to introduce the "Simpson-Bowles" deficit plan as his fiscal year 2013 budget resolution. This is a plan put forward by Alan Simpson, a retired Republican Senator who hates Social Security, and Erskine Bowles, a member of the Board of Wall Street's Morgan Stanley. So here we are once again with the same old same old plan from the same old same old elites. Namely: cuts in Social Security and other things We, the People do for each other, combined with even more tax cuts for the rich. This austeridiocy plan to grow the economy by taking money out of the economy is a billionaire-backed zombie that never dies.
