Wow. I have been in Social Security game forever. Or as I put it since Christ was a Corporal. And yet a poorly sourced piece in the WaPo from a reporter with a really dubious record of fronting Peterson style propaganda suddenly added up to a chunk of C-4 in the campfire. Where the hell did THIS explosion come from?
What may have seemed like a trial balloon is shaping up like the Hindenberg. Jeez and I didn't even republish all relevant diaries.
I am kind of having a Sally Field moment as a proxy for FDR and Frances Perkins: "You really like them!!!" Which for us diehard remnants of the New Deal is an unexpected thing.
