Debate last night

Watched the GOP debate last night..

Most impressed by Huntsman but no chance to win.
Perry has some good sound bites but "social security for the young is a ponzi scheme" will hurt in the general election (I tend to agree however)
Romney has probably the best shot to beat Obama but his own healthcare plan for Mass resembles Obamacare too much.

Helen watched something else so I didn't see any of it. Romney is a real republican not
an idiot like most of the candidates. I don't have a problem with his Mass plan resembling
Obama's national one. That does make it hard for him to attack it much but he could
stress the diffences. It worked out fine and Mass citizens like it.

Social Security was attacked and called a Ponzi scheme 40 years ago. It has money to
cover it's obligations longer now than it did then. I guess the story is new when you first
hear it. They do have their money in treasurys though so it's not going to make any
money on it, probably lose some value (if cashed in early) over the next few years.
And it's up to reduce the payments from wage earners for another year as a stimulus.
