desk. You are thinking about long ago before Major Corporations wrote legislation for Congress. Congress for the most part now, blindly votes the way they are told by Corporate America. See the recent rider written by Monsanto and voted on, blindly some of them are saying now, they didn't even know it was there, by Congress. Because if they don't vote on a bill written by their Corporate sponsors, they will find themselves being challenged in their next election, with lots of corporate cash going to the challenger.
The HC bill was written by the HC corps.
All you have to do is look at the makeup of the so-called Deficit Commission which has spent its time talking something that had nothing to do with the deficit, SS, to know why the President keeps talking about cutting programs they have no right to touch, being that the SS fund belongs to the people. Just talking about it is like me talking about my neighbor's savings account, it's tht outrageous.
But we know, we should just trust them.
