Social Security

So I am listening to NPR at work (as usual), and I hear about Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist backpedaling on remarks he made earlier this week suggesting that a Social Security bill might not come to the floor this year. The reasoning behind this was it HAS to go through this year because none of the Senators will want to vote on anything even vaguely controversial NEXT year because it will be an election year for them. I mean, what the fuck? So we get some half-assed, half-baked, half-thought out plan that was rushed to a vote because these assholes want to keep their job? Jesus, if they can't think it through and give it some time for discussion, they don't deserve to be there anyway. -MG
