Passing civil rights lost the south to the dems from Johnson to now. Cutting programs 85% of the people do not want cut is suicide. Ask George W. how the political capital worked out privatizing social security. The UPS guy Is already crippled at 55 , how can they work to 70? Only senators and CEOs that sit on their ass all day and do nothing can retire at 70. Don't do t!
