95. I'm reading the book that people seem to be saying is the source for the "Glinton-Gingrich" pact....
... and reserving judgment on whether it was designed to "kill" social security until I'm finished. Have you actually read it yourself? It's $9.99 on Amazon.com's Kindle Store.

The reviews of the book from the bookstores and ratings places don't say anything at all about how they were trying to "kill" social security, just that they were trying to work together to fix it. Your phrasing is exactly the same as a meme from FireDogLake, but that's the ONLY place (besides people quoting that article) who is saying that's what the pact was designed to do.

Until a person has actually read the book or can quote what in their attempt at compromise was designed to "kill" social security, I think it's really irresponsible to make accusations like that.
