Is 50 the new 70?
Psst ... the money is taken from them, and as a result they do not have it when they are elderly, non-working citizens. Follow?

I think that it is a real stretch to determine that from what he said. The truth is the jist of what he said is that SS should be reformed and it is hard to argue that isnt true. While it may not be from the conservative playbook that I supposedly read from, I think that he has made two good points about raising the age and not paying out to people who dont really need the SS (ie, wealthy people). I'm surprised that you wouldnt praise him for talking of taking money from rich people?

I think it's self-evident. From the words and stuff

You pluck one sentence and twist it. Typically I might add. Interestingly enough you felt the need to add that he is a GOP Senator in your title. Now if Obama had said the same thing you'd be right on board. I'm still waiting to hear your opinion of the important things that he said about reforming SS. I guess it would pain you too much to agree with him about that. Or it just wouldnt fit into the agenda...

What's typical is your persistent personal snarkiness towards me. You go out of your way to be so. Good luck with that.
