There are a lot of short memories around here, and in Congress as well.
Think back to 2005. G.W. Bush had just won against Kerry, and there was all that talk about how he'd use "the political capital" he had accumulated.
Well, he decided to use it, alright. Started talking about "reforming" Social Security, talk about raising the retirement age, etc.
And guess what? The Pubbies went on to lose big in the 2006 midterms, and then along came obama in 2008.
Fortunately, Mr. Trump knows better.
But Congressional Republicans remain [largely] stupid.
Let them try to cut benefits or mess with the retirement age.
You'll see not only the Senate but the House "go blue" in 2020!
