Debt Commission Report Targets Social Security, Medicare

Obama's been continuing just about all of the BushCheney policies (who were able to do what they did by piggy-backing onto what the previous administrations had been setting up); the DLC-controlled Congress's watering down of real Democratic legislation, thereby turning it into Republican-like legislation, isn't because they're "nice guys" who don't like confrontation, and want to play with and be friends with Republicans.  These are all sharks, both sides of the aisle, and We The People are what they're feasting on.  You don't get onto the national stage of politics, or anything in the US, unless you're driven and have been delivering to the powers that be already.

Republicans love it the Democrats' watered down legislation that is Republican-like.  Republicans get what they want (generally, or what they can build on later) & they don't have to vote for it.  That satisfies their base's need for knee-jerk tribal warfare between the 2 political parties (how many times have you heard Republican tr0IIs declare that a bill "must be bad if Democrats are for it"?), AND, it satisfies their & Democrats' shared Corporate Masters. They get amply rewarded with great big donations to their reelection campaigns.

What Obama's been doing should be shocking to all real Democratic voters.
