Has Senator Lindsey Graham gone insane? He is committing treason against the Grover Norquist Republican party by disavowing his pledge to cut taxes. In other words, he is putting his country ahead of his political party. “Graham said: “‘I will violate this pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats do entitlement reform.'” Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss disavowed the pledge of Grover Norquist a few days back, in favor of the pledge of allegiance to the flag and all that it stands, which has nothing to do with Norguist.
Entitlement reform is interesting if only because the Social Security Trust Fund has a $2.5 trillion surplus, which collects $118 billion a year in interest. Naturally, the senator, along with a ton of Democrats, want to reduce the standard of living of the aged by cutting their SS payment.
