jt, It is typical and all too predictable. The bubble world is safe and easy with all the "answers" they want given to them. One would think with SS/Medicare, Veteran benefits, etc on the line, er table, and so many conservative seniors living on the edge, they would start paying attention to who is trying to preserve those earned benefits and who wants to whittle away at them until they are itty bitty toothpicks. Paul Ryan, Ayn Randbot, keeps rolling out his Medicare voucher plot insisting that it won't hurt seniors, it's "premium" support....on private health insurance, for pete's sake. I am utterly fed up with hearing "entitlement reform" over and over again everywhere in the media which just means make the middle and lower classes pay for no changes in the very wealthy's tax rates, loopholes, etc. It couldn't be plainer. Boehner, McConnell won't meet with Obama until he and the Dems agree to no tax revenues whatsoever.

So I don't know why people aren't more questioning, blind trust? Can't let one doubt sneak in because one would have to start being skeptical of everything? Maybe it is a zero-sum game view, if one gains, the other loses. I've noticed that a lot of folks feel they deserve their hard earned SS/Medicare or whatever benefit they get but those other folks don't.

Old Russian joke: A sorcerer offers a peasant a single wish. The peasant hates his neighbor who has a cow and the peasant does not. "Kill my neighbor's cow", the peasant demands.
