I've put together budgets of over $50 million in my school district. But if I just waltzed in with a full-blown final copy they'd laugh me out of the place. It's preposterous to even think it would be possible. It requires collaboration.

The issue with the Catfood Commission, however, is that Obama selected two known Social Security . . . haters is the best word I can think of . . . to actually CHAIR the committee which provided the proposal. When you select a chair, you are selecting the guidance, so he had to know what they were going to filter out and leave in. So Sanders wants to throw it out and start over. I'm on HIS side on this one. And there isn't a thing wrong with that.
