Reply #70: "It's just a report, with recommendations." [View All]

Relax. There's nothing to see here.

Except that reports with recommendations almost always turn into legislation at some point. But let's wait until then to speak up. And then we'll be hearing about how the bill is just a small adjustment in a program - nothing to worry about. And then we'll be hearing how we couldn't stop the amendments from being added because we don't have a super-duper majority. And then we'll be told we have to support the Dems because they're all in the midst of their campaigns and we can't lose this seat or that seat, so how can we hold them accountable to voting against the now-hideous bill? And then we'll hear about how Obama can't veto the bill because he has to demonstrate his "fiscal responsibility" or be trashed in HIS campaign. And then we'll see the death of what Social Security once was.

Yeah, I know, all completely far-fetched. Except it isn't.
