David Walker Representative

I said they want to loot Social Security. He says it's already been looted. I said they are trying to evade the regular processes of representative democracy. He says Congress is "broken" and so cannot be trusted to make sound decisions in a timely manner.

Do they want to whack benefits for Social Security recipients, as I claimed, or don't they? Walker declines to answer the question. Readers may decide for themselves whom to believe.
