Bob says clearly in his video that the Republicans aren't asking for this cut in S.S., only the Democrats are. He goes on to say that "Democrats shouldn't be doing this." But he does not venture an explanation as to why Democrats are doing this.

Why would he not even speculate as to the Democratic Party's motives for beginning the deconstruction of S.S.? You hear the Great and Powerful Obama intone almost daily that "we must protect the most vulnerable among us". Then, according to Bob Reich (and he wouldn't lie), Mr. Obama and his party proceed to do exactly the opposite - to harm the most vulnerable of our citizens.

Why is your party doing this Bob? You have just said that this is what they are doing. So, maybe if we know why your party is doing this, we can better understand our position in this rotten system...oh...that's why you don't ask or speculate...sorry...
