Writing about the $13T in unfunded Social Security obligations, Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor, says “Social Security is a tiny problem” and “Medicare is entirely different.

After hundreds of thousands of Americans protested his economic policies, Barack Obama batted 1.000 today by releasing the disputed Office of Legal Counsel memos authorizing the use of tortue on captured terrorists, declaring that intelligence officers responsible for the interrogations would not be prosecuted, and announcing that the U.S. will focus on enforcing existing gun smuggling laws rather than re-instituting the lapsed assault weapons ban.
