I read the article this morning,

but my buddy Dave put it into words that we can all understand.
The Plutocracy absolutely hates Social Security – viewing it as pure Bolshevik Socialism, or worse.  They hated it passionately when FDR launched it – and their ongoing hatred of this wildly popular government program which virtually everyone else likes (remember the 2012 Tea Party’s “Keep Your Government Hands Off My Social Security” signs?) continues unabated.  They simply can’t abide any Government program which actually works and provides some small measure of economic security for the Common Man (albeit only those older than 65 in this case).
 Citizens United changed everything.  The GOP knows who butters their bread – and they’re tripping over each other to curry favor (and big bucks) from their Sugar Daddies (the Kochs, Adelson, Waltons, et al.).  The paramount objective for GOP candidates in this early phase of the presidential campaign is to reap dollars – not votes – to pave their road to the White House. 
 Those pesky voters can always be tricked, fooled and bamboozled later to vote against their own economic interests.  You can bet that Karl Rove, Frank Luntz and all of Roger Ailes minions at Fox News are busy constructing the proper “spin” right now.

You tell 'em, Dave. Wow, I can take some time off, and still get the message out, even though the sheep don't/won't hear, with their heads 'firmly implanted', just as their masters at Bullshit Mountain have programmed them to do.
