Here's what's going to happen. The old folks are wising up. Sure, R/R say they're safe and will have their social security and medicare, but they now see how much disdain the pubs have for the programs. Ppl your and my age are wising up and starting to realize what they worked for all their lifes, a comfortable old age, may soon be in the hands of a volatile market run by the likes of Romney.
Younger ppl too. They're all beginning to think.
It won't be until they pull that lever for Obama that they realize things right now just ain't that bad.
I did love how Biden hammered that message.. the
"look folks, they want to privatize SS (to which Ryan nodded and agreed).. and just imagine what would have happened if SS was privatized when wall street dropped trillions of dollars in wealth, where would you be then?"It's something they should continue to hammer, but I think they feel this argument is won/lost already.. but it's not. It's clear to us, but not necessarily to older, low-information, people..
