...not researching, studying, learning and/or listening to specific, legitimate details about just exactly HOW Romney/ Ryan intend to streamline, adjust, revamp, et al Social Security, Medicare and any or all of the so called "third rail" entitlement programs.
One of the more insidious ironies inherent in the wonderful wacky demographic known as the "American public" is their seemingly passionate, fervent "hallelujah, amen, brother" manner of agreeing with every new wanna do gooder who comes down the pike with an armload of "the country's gone to hell" and mouthful of "I'm here to change things"...
...only to rear up and scream "now, just hold on there, carpetbagger" when the "change" demanded and offered requires even the slightest adjustment to that particular complainant's status quo.
In other words, "change is good...you first...".
That said, at a time when the American economy is in dire need of rebooting, when the status quo has become a luxury we can, literally, no longer afford, when it is essential that old ideas, at the very least, share the stage with new ideas, it is stubbornness on a seven deadly sin scale to reject, out of hand, any idea that might repair the damage done.
And that includes the possibility of systemic changes in sacred systems.
I'm not pro-Romney Ryan.
Nor am I anti-Romney Ryan.
I am willing, ready, even anxious to hear what specific changes they have in mind that might break up the logjam and get America flowing, and growing, again.
Any unwillingness to, at least, listen to what they have to say is hubris that could very easily result in Greek tragedy.
And that goes for you, too.
Number 2...
...there is no better reason. Read reason number one again.
