Chained CPI is to be strictly avoided, and the Democrats in Congress are doing their job to protect us, the 99% by loudly and pulblicly opposing it.

The GOP is again throwing themselves in support of something that Obama said, which will lose them more of their base, as well as ensure that Chained CPI fails.

And as for the President, he is either exploiting the GOP's knee-jerk reactionary habits, or he is incompetent. The jury is still out on that.
