Do you realize that Santorum has no intention of reducing the benefits of 75 and 80 year olds? Try reading the entire story for goodness sakes.

I hadn’t thought of that. :)

But we all agree it’s the sound bites and headlines that matter.

Okay, I went back and read the story carefully.

I don’t like what he said at all. He was murky on details and shouldn’t have said anything at all until he’d thought more seriously about his plan.

He was for cutting benefits and for means testing. The whole deal with social security as it was sold to us was that it was retirement we were paying for and belonged to us.

There would never be means testing.

They also said that the fund would be kept separate and sacred.

“They” lied about a lot of things.

Now, as it read it, Santorum is advocating means testing and reduction in current benefits.

He’ll probably come out tomorrow and say he was misunderstood and it was all a joke, hahahaha.

But he’s now moved into last place in my estimation when, before he was Number 2.

They can't read beyond their Newt/Perry colored glasses.... blinders on....
