pecuniumNPR is airing the SOTU.
The woman speaking just bought into the President's Social Security story. Praise for her saying privatize, but she said the Dems need to put up an alternative proposal.
Which is giving in. The System isn't broken. It isn't even that ill-structured.
But she just conceded his position... if it needs to be fixed then it's unwell.
All the Dems need to do is stand up and say, "There is no Crisis."

If we debate how to fix it, we lose.
