I think that it is a real stretch to determine that from what he said. The truth is the jist of what he said is that SS should be reformed and it is hard to argue that isnt true. While it may not be from the conservative playbook that I supposedly read from, I think that he has made two good points about raising the age and not paying out to people who dont really need the SS (ie, wealthy people). I'm surprised that you wouldnt praise him for talking of taking money from rich people?
