Contact Durbin about his "gang" and where they think the "center" is:

To make a deal that makes everybody mad is not something to be proud of. The Beltway media won't be "mad," because they are rooting for American workers to "share" all of the sacrifice while the rich go untouched, so they'll be celebrating it. Congress should do nothing rather than cave in to Republicans who refuse to raise revenues with any form of taxation and to cut our benefits, just to appease Republican ideological ideals; that is not "honorable."

Why Mark Warner thinks that the Holy Grail is cutting Social Security benefits -- which has nothing to do with the deficit -- is fair game season while leaving taxes where they are is beyond me.

The bipartisan "gang of six" may recommend changes to Social Security as part of its deficit-reduction plan, even though some Democrats have insisted such a proposal would be a non-starter.

"You know, part of this is just math -- 16 workers for everyone retiree 50 years ago, three workers for every retiree now," Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), a member of the group, told CBS "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer on Sunday.

SCHIEFFER: So that's where you would get the additional revenues, by eliminating deductions, not necessarily by raising taxes?

WARNER: We're not talking about raising taxes.

Being a Conservative Democrat is no excuse for Warner to praise Paul Ryan's fraudulent budget and then attaching Social Security to any deal the Gang of Six come up with. Here's the transcript from Face The Nation.
