Sanders Convenes Social Security Caucus

This is an interesting video. An excellent example of "Senate Doublespeak," by pretty much every senator who spoke at this press availability.

Toward the end of this video, at minutes 03:53 to 04:02, Senator Sanders states: "Should we address this problem and make sure that it (Social Security) is there for our kids and our grandchildren, and that social security is strong for the next seventy-five years? Absolutely! Absolutely!"

[You might also want to pay attention to Schumer's comments at minutes 02:54 to 03:04.]

Let's face it folks, looks like "the fix is in."
