Shhh! Don't burst LJ's bubble. She still thinks there is money in there and that SS is fine. (It is her Santa Claus and Flying Spaghetti Monster.)

Today's Electoral College vote-projections: Obama: 303 / RMoney: 191

(270 to win)....

Obama: I am going to take a Mulligan here.

Michele's thoughts? It is my anniversary and my husband is getting f****** but not by me.

They both punted on SS. Saying it is "structurally sound" and needs only minor tweaking? WTF

How is only 75% funded long term, with no revenue source or budget item to repay about 2.5 Trillion in make believe trust fund IOUs "structurally sound" Translation: "not my problem in the next 4 years"
Also the SSDI part of the program is quickly approaching insolvency in a few yrs. No worries.

That's what, about 30 EC votes less for Obama today than he used to have when you were reporting 332/191 just a couple of days ago? The news just keeps on getting better and better.
