19. Durbin also understands Social Security is a separate issue from the deficit w/ its own problems.

When I've heard him say SS should be on the table it struck me that he knew he was calling the republican bluff about SS having anything what-so-fucking-ever to do with the budget deficit. In other words he's saying 'fine, let's deal with the SS problem and let's deal with the deficit but we're going to find out real quick that the two things aren't in the same column on the spreadsheet.'
