"A strong argument, in fact, an irrefutable one, can be made that SS, Medicare and now Obamacare are the three worst pieces of still-standing legislation in the nation's history." That's the funniest line I've read all day. Tell you what... since they are so awful, why not do a new Contract on America and tell the American people straight up you are gonna end all 3 by 3/31/15. You should win in a landslide... or get totally buried. I think the poor old farts who were so scared by the antics of the right that they carry signs saying might not be so appreciative of the sudden burst of honesty. Those of us who really know what is going on understand SS and MC are the 2 most successful American anti-poverty programs ever created. Seniors living in poverty have dropped from 50% to 10% because of SS. Ideological claptrap like " irrefutably worst" never stands up to real numbers, and "it cudda been down to 1% if we didn't have SS" won't score any points with anybody.
