12. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops

Eisenhower said that the Republicans who wanted to end social programs were "few in number" and "stupid". By Reagan's time big cutbacks to Social Security were not only made, but they didn't destroy his reputation. By Bush the Second it was openly discussed that Social Security funds should be sent to Wall Street to "invest". Now powerful Republicans are openly talking about "reviewing" Social Security, or putting it on a list to be "sunsetted" in five years. I realize that the cool pundits, who would never personally have to rely on Social Security anyway, all say that the Republicans would never get rid of Social Security. It should be remembered that it was said that the supreme court would never pick the president, that the Republicans would never refuse to give even a hearing to a Democratic president's supreme court nominee, that Roe would never be overturned. I'll believe that the Republicans won't get rid of Social Security when Ike rises out of his grave and takes back his party.
