Hmm... so Social Security doesn't actually provide social - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:50:48

Not what I said - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:51:26

Do you think Social Security provides social security - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:53:39

As it is currently constructed for all time? No - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:54:35

Yes and yes - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:35:29

He's not eliminating or even flirting with the elimination - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:37:18

Yet in his SOTU speech - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:49:45

He'll be walking back his recent "entitlements" comment - ummmm MU - 3/10 14:51:47

He will say it in small bites - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:55:08

4tigs is far from a small gov't voter - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:56:37

In "claims" only - meatiger MU - 3/10 14:58:19

Or he will resort back to the - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:59:11

Awesome, hopefully the other taxes go to zero as well(nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/10 14:35:08
