So let me get this social security thing straight.

For years the dems have been screaming about tax cuts for the rich and promising to roll back those tax cuts..

Last night dubya proposes reducing future benefits for the so called "rich" and increasing benefits for the poor and the response of the dems is:

* "cutting the shit out of your Social Security benefits."—Atrios

* "cut pretty much everyone's benefits a lot. The sweetener? Poor people's benefits won't be cut as much!"—Josh Marshall

And the dems

"It's like throwing a drowning man a lead weight instead of a life preserver," Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster, said of Mr. Bush's decision to introduce benefit cuts into the equation. "He's got a plan that neither the public nor his own party can support. Only good can come from Democrats' defending the right of the middle class to continue getting their benefits in full."

Okay....I'm starting to get it. The dems really are the change-nothing, do-nothing party.
