Fred Hiatt is The Washington Post's editorial page editor and he has a outlook on Social Security reform that is enlightening and unfortunate. See Fred's editorial here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-new-party-of-no/2015/03/22/05c5fc3a-cf07-11e4-a2a7-9517a3a70506_story.html
What I read there is a liberal tactic that goes something like this: when someone is talking about cutting, liberals start talk about expanding...and meet in the middle...if they have to. In case of the Social Security debate it "has taken on a life of itself." And that being a liberal agenda, it must include expanding Social Security to include other generous social giveaway programs..so much so that THAT may be the last big social welfare expansion necessary to bring the numbers of employed down far enough...and bring the number of those on the entitled teat up enough, to tilt Capitalism over into Socialism. Liberalism: Americans Planning to fail. Where we all are equally poor and miserable.
It's pretty good reading.
