VIDEO- Promise to privatize Social Security gets loud boos

Via.

Via Think Progress, here is Rep. Rick Berg (R-ND) defending his plan to privatize Social Security at a Senate debate.

His opponent, Heidi Heitkamp, told him, “When you say ‘I’m going to fix it,’ you’re going to privatize it.” This audience apparently weren’t convinced by euphemisms like “fix” either, so they booed. Loudly.

The Romney/Ryan plan should evoke the same response.

    Actually if I were allowed to ask Romnuts a question it would be, “Would you under any circumstance outsource government jobs to a foreign entity”?

    Currently it may be difficult to get through to an actual person at the Social Security office, or at Medicare, but (when you finally get through) can you imagine having to deal with a foreign speaking “helper” like often happens with your phone service?

    With Romney’s penchant for outsourcing I can actually see this happening!
