Romney sided with Santorum against Newt’s plan for Social Security which is similar to the one successfully implemented in Chile. Romney and Santorum are just status quo on SS at a time when we need a real change.

You know if Romney wins he will call together an “expert” panel filled with academics then they will come with a plan to perhaps raise the SS retirement age and increase FICA taxes perhaps by eliminating the wage cap on FICA taxes and/or imposing FICA on non-wage income; Obama already pushed the camel’s nose by imposing Medicare tax on non-wage income as part of ObamaCare.

while it is true that Romney is status quo, that's not why he agreed with Santorum. He agreed with Santorum to help prop Santorum up so that he can continue to help split the conservative vote.

Romney has to play this just perfectly to win. He needs both a strong Santorum and a strong Gingrich in the race to thread the needle, and so far ... he is succeeding because the Santorum supporters can't see that they are being manipulated.

I guess that's one way to look at it.

What I heard is Santorum likes the idea, after we get our fiscal house in order. Gingrich said the idea would spur economic growth, glossing over how he would enable such a plan without adding to the debt.

So, who actually sounds “status quo” here?
