William Greider of The Nation has posted a piece claiming that President Obama is planning to "loot" Social Security or maybe he thinks that Obama will just get hoodwinked into "looting" Social Security. It is a hard to tell what he thinks.
What I think is that the piece is beyond alarmist and may be all the way to paranoid. Of course, those on the right provide a counterpoint by claiming that a Social Security catastrophe is at hand and the only way to save Social Security is to destroy Social Security as we have known it.

He's a little late, Social Security was looted long ago. Plus how can the almighty Obama be fooled by mere mortals. Maybe the Republicans will hold of some Kryptonite. LOL
ReplyDeleteI commented on Mr.Greider's article on Alternet. I pointed out that various of his assertions are inaccurate and his overall conclusions are speculative. However, any vague statements about "reforming entitlements" are bound to evoke responses of this type.
