123. My only HOPE and that is the last thing remaining
is that this poss (which will make things better for about 30 million, the debate will be how much better)... will be the beginning of real change. And given US history, there is a chance that will be the case.

But that will ONLY happen if you and I REMAIN involved and a total pain in the ass.. or they will have all the incentives to scream victory and move on.

Go ahead call me a cynic. But US history sucks, really sucks in that sense.

The SS bill of 1935 made this poss look like very good... and so did Medicare in 1965.

So call me a cynic, but the battle just begun. And not just for you, but every other American in this country, even those opposed to gub'mint socialist programs who love them SS checks.
