YOU are exactly what the establishment wants. Someone from whom they can take, take again, and then take some more - and be dispassionate about it.
There is nothing broken in Social Security. Changing things now to hammer those who are coming in behind you isn't going to do much other than engender more poverty. If you haven't noticed, over the last 30 years, the pocketbooks of the 95% have become lighter while those at the top of grown to riches never seen since before you were born. Education costs skyrocket. Healthcare costs skyrocket. And when the 95%, with no money to invest in retirement, will have far less than you when they are 70. THESE are the problems at hand that MUST be dealt with, but you encourage this mal- and non-feasance by giving them a pass.
Compromise is a twoway street - if it's only one, like it is for the republicans, then it's NOT "compromise," it's "extortion." So no, it's NOT supposed to be "that way" when you elect a President and the other party are heretical madmen.
A President is supposed to LEAD. They are supposed to set the agenda and fight for that agenda. This President hasn't any courage in him because there is no promise, no policy, no group of people that matters enough for him to stage a true, honest policy debate. He LOVES closed-door meetings and "deals". This President is just terrible - but he's exactly what the powers that be want.
