   Finally you say something about the bipartisan commission (while still   
   ignoring the bipartisan support in both houses of Congress), but really you   
   say nothing.   
    Greenspan was one of the fifteen members.  He didn't make the recommendations.   
    The commission made the recommendations.  That includes several Democrats   
   including Claude Pepper, and an assistant secretary of HHS under Carter, and a   
   former head of the SSA, and the head of the AFL-CIO!  It was bipartisan, which   
   is one of the many words you just don't understand.
