now is with worn as a side issue on a stick up for the idea of social security
actually be increase rather than decrease now washington Post
was livid about this said an editorial board op-ed
saying that the spur Kratz's and led by the progressive change campaign
committee and then Senator Tom Harkin
a and representative Sanchez in the house saying that hey you know what all
is nonsense conserve right-wing talk about cutting social security is a bad
idea
we need to do is increase social security because of how popular
an important it is no i simple said
but wait a minute that you'd be taking money from
poor rich people which I love poor rich people right
and that that was a direct quote to be for them but as I read you the court
there the other day it's about as close as again they said about what more can
you take from the rich
to give to the to the elderly
who have gotten so much are red they said that with a straight face
award she's here to straighten that out he's all school G
okay go the cold cut social security has an
uglier side to it too the washington post frame the choice
as more children in poverty versus more seniors
in poverty the suggestion that we have become a country whose loop
the suggestion that we have become a country where those living in poverty
fight each other for a handful of crimes
cost of the tables a very wealthy is
fundamentally wrong this is about our values
and our values tell us that we don't build a future
but deciding first who among will be left
to start so you know what I lira
is a fortune to be extremely like I am sure yellin' pounder
fist on the table you know Harry dose of spoke to make problem but it's also
because what he says
but look what she says was she saying is incredibly strong
silhouette I'm tired of getting the crumbs off the table for the american
people
from the the rich who it with the washington post tells
are in it to protect the chilled now that's interesting
because the Washington Post editorial board didn't mention any programs they
would like the
increase spending on for the children they just said no no
let's cut the money from the elderly
didn't say give it to the kids they use the kids as an excuse
but they're actually not in favor of any money that go suspending
increases for the Jets their favor keep letting the rich keep that money
okay so she's pointing that out by she ate half done yet
go look at the basic facts
today's social security has think 2.7 trillion dollar surplus
if we do nothing social security will be safe
for the next twenty years and even after that will continue to pay most benefits
with some modest
adjustment we can keep the system solvent for many more years
and we could even increase benefits so here she is laying out the facts like
I'm not gonna let you lie
it doesn't have a deficit overall social security has not just the surplus
HID Cintiq surplus was the last time you saw that in the mainstream media
2.7 trillion dollar service that's why they're so afraid over
because she's popular she comes out and tells you fax fact they don't want you
to know
not done yet this the part a dial-up
because keep in mind people in favor the chain CPR which issue which you can talk
about is an accounting trick
they're not just republicans President Obama and even a simple OC have said
all we might wanna do for fix the koran court
or switch to a chain CP I listen how she dresses that the most recent discussion
about cutting benefits has focused on something called the chain
CP on supporters at the chain CPIC
it's more accurate way up measuring the cost-of-living increases for seniors
this statement is simply not true chain CP on
falls far short up the actual increases in cost that seniors face
pure and simple chain CB Ike it's just a fancy way to say
cut benefits the Bureau of Labor Statistics has developed a measure of
the real
impact of inflation on seniors hold the CPRI
E and if we adopt it today
it would generally increase the benefits for our retirees
not cut them damn
she might be soft-spoken but she just called the president a liar
chain CP I is will present Obama say although no it's okay we can do that is
just a little adjustment
yeah it's an adjustment downward that's your plan for cutting social security
that's what we've been saying all along those are facts
so they hear she is saying and they're not tell you the truth okay
they're trying to cut your benefits that you love any you paid into your whole
life
okay and the reality is we would do better week increase your payments and
we can buy the only good news
let the payroll tax for social security that's simple
it doesn't to anything to our deficit an *** wipe you lift the cap from 130
thousand that means
but well .4 percent that everybody maybe under a hundred thirty thousand already
pays
were applied everybody above a hundred thirteen thousand dollars a year as well
okay now she says this machine for throwing our lot in with the
lives in the Senate and the House these
extreme liberals and progressives of course I cut you both agree whether
their center-right break
mix at the justice some polling Public Policy Polling did it
yes they differ move on but you know Public Policy Polling was ranked
the single most acker poll the 2012 elections
in calling all the different elections presidential Senate
and house and when the couple will actually came on the numbers are
slightly disappointing to me
because every other poem ever seen shows that
Social Security has approval ratings some
in their mid to high eighties and people say don't care under any circumstance
in this case well you know Saturday the numbers came in five states they pulled
in I'll tell you why the poll in those states in a second
Arkansas Kentucky Louisiana North Carolina and Washington
and social security's approval rating only came in in there
seventies okay which is obviously
overwhelming nonetheless saying any such as I approve it it's a
do not cut it do not cut social security
above seventy percent california's 52nd district
randomly was a out liar became its 66 percent
thats in the all the different districts they looked at the lowest number they
could find
was two-thirds are people saying do not cut another any circumstance
but that's not all they said again the seventy percent palmar ballpark on
average
said if my congressman or senator
goes on a boat to cut Social Security I will vote against them
seventy percent now the reason i picked those five spaces causes nine districts
in there
that are it precarious districts it could go either way democrat or
republican
and those in people said on the House and Senate Commerce Committee
who decides what to do with the budget including may be cutting Social Security
so this is a very smart poll saying
if you like a loser see have another horse
disagree with Elizabeth Warren disagree with us radical liberals
that over seventy percent the people in your district
have at it and see how it turns out for dude if you're a Democrat dude your
republican
seem to get reelected but that's not all his might be reportable
they ask people would you like to increase what goes into so scary me like
would you like the payments the Beehive
now that's not kept that's that outrages liberal position right
I mean always in washington don't even discuss it the washington post made a
mistake here
by actually engaging in liberals in a debate
because normally just ignore liberals in on you do you represent the american
people
i hear all the time the politicians got even tell the American people for the
american people say
so the american people are not going to be here with this deficit problem we had
they not gonna be in paper
increasing what we pay: to Social Security recipients right
you can see where this is going sixty-five percent
people on average in those five states said
you should even Chris social security benefits
to there is the cut was the last time you saw two-thirds the country green
any pic it turns out but while the radical liberal position
is the overwhelmingly favorite position
in this country you go hey you don't think that
you know you know the state's a representative it up you think north
carolina's too liberal
have at aus pass the whole country
I guarantee you guys get similar or better results
were not extreme were smack dab
in the middle of the country with the country actually use
thats were Elizabeth Warren s and that's what the position
that she fights from and guess what that's why she's popular
I know it's really hard to understand for washington pundits
