Should Dems Chain themselves to Chained CPI for SocSec?

even though Obama proposed it... seems like a mistake????

Let the Pubs take the heat for one of their own ideas.

see this week's AARP survey. Seventy percent of voters age 50 or older are opposed to the chained CPI for Social Security. That increases to 78 percent opposed to having it applied to retired and disabled veterans’ benefits. But the number politicians really need to consider: 66 percent. That's the group that will be more inclined to vote against a senator or representative who voted for any kind of deal including chained CPI.
