Pavlov's People - The idea started almost as a joke - right-wing wags and punditry thinking aloud "I wonder if the Democrats really care about doing anything about Social Security, or if they just like having it around for fear fodder?"
Today - the "smoking gun". A congressional staff memo essentially spells out that that is, indeed, the Democrat strategery; the mess that is Social Security is worth more to them as a boondoggle than as a working program that supports senior citizens.
When it comes to cynicism, you really can't make it up fast enough anymore.
Suppose this'll stick? Any bets?
