2/12 Atrios: Why We Must Increase Social Security Benefits

February 12, 2013

Blogger and USA Today contributor Atrios (Duncan Black), explained what a true cost of living adjustment for the elderly would look like, the evolution of pension plans, the false promise of retirement plans, new retirees facing poverty, why politicians won’t run on increasing Social Security benefits, the assumption that life should be an eternal struggle, and the Republicans singular policy focus on cutting taxes for rich people.

On The Better Half: the Sam Seder Learning Annex continues with a new Libertarian caller, the revolutionary implication of the Kill List on Due Process, MSNBC’s Toure makes a case for drone strikes and brings back memories of bad country music and your calls and IMs.

And keep the conversation going on the morning thread!
