21. I don't understand why he put Chained CPI on the table, but I still support him

I think he's being overly bashed and I feel the best approach is to try to understand why he is supporting it. And to write letters to him and/or congress. Sure everyone has a right to be angry and every political leader will anger or disappoint at some time.

It would be great if throngs of Dems gathered in the streets with "Hands off my Social Security" signs (like the Tea Party with "Hands off my Medicare&quot . But that's not happening, so what can anyone do?

Instead Dems are attacking Dems on the internet. This is what the Republicans want.

My little rant. Thanks for listening.
