I just watched David Ignatius on the CHRIS MATTHEWS SHOW say that Obama was right to offer concessions on Social Security benefits because he has to keep his promise to younger voters not to give away our nation's treasure to seniors.
It must be nice to be financially secure, inside the DC bubble and have your opinion however ridiculous matter...it must be nice to be David Ignatius.
I am assuming that Mr. Ignatius was away in another corner of our universe when the financial sector blew up our economy and was bailed out with taxpayer dollars. They proceeded to give one another bonuses and not one executive has been held responsible, gone to trial or to jail. If you or I committed financial fraud we would be sitting in federal prison..but not Wall Street executives...they are sacred cows.
I am also assuming that Mr. Ignatius totally forgot that those war criminals called Bush and Cheney and their compadres in the Congress ran two unfunded wars costing trillions of dollars.
I am assuming he forgot that the oil companies are still receiving government subsidies while making record profits while General Electric paid $0 in taxes but that's ok they need the money much more than seniors.
I am assuming he didn't know about the 4000 individuals that have 24 trillion dollars in offshore accounts and are paying $0 in taxes or our recent presidential candidate Romney who paid 15% in taxes, has 100 million in retirement accounts and also has money in offshore accounts....after all it isn't their fault the government is broke...it is all the seniors' fault.
I could probably go on and on but why bother, Mr. Ignatius has found his sacrificial lambs and Mr. Obama gets his much hoped for legacy....ALL IN THE BACK OF SENIOR CITIZENS.
