4. I'm not sure who those people are who support things like the Chained CPI eg.

No Democrat would do so, young or old. If your parents are life long Dems they would have told you how important these programs are. So anyone who is willing to try to 'explain' why SS 'needs reform' isn't a Democrat imo, young or old.

Some are probably just trying to tell themselves that their favorite politician would never do something that was going to have a negative impact on the people, so he's 'just playing chess'. Do you understand what they are saying I wonder? Playing chess with people's LIVES? That is almost even worse than the reality. It would be a cynical gamble with what belongs to the people.

And others are probably part of the decades long effort to privatize all these programs by scaring people into thinking it 'won't last' if we 'don't do something'. Well, they've saying that for six decades.

I know this any Dem who votes for the Chained CPI and/or the TPP, is no Dem and needs to be kicked out of this party.
