[edit] What passages in this article are on mission?

I see something about Republicans and Democrats disagreeing. Is that it? PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.Moderator 20:17, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

When you have politicians trying to run on privatizing SS in presidential elections, I'd call that noteworthy. Osaka Sun (talk) 20:21, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
"Noteworthy" =/= "missional." PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.Moderator 20:24, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
As it now stands, the article is, shall I say, skimpy with regard to mission-related details. IMO, there is ample scope for missionality, in that the "benefits" of privateering are being sold to a gullible segment of the public (Altemeyer's "right-wing authoritarians" may be accurately described as gullible sheep) by disingenuous purveyors of pseudoscience (indefensible misreadings of the most dismal of sciences.) I'm not able to put citations to, nor offer coherent exposition of any of that, though. Anybody? Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 20:52, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
We should also stress the economic benefits, not just the altruistic ones. Anyone who thinks that bringing millions of poor people in their 70s back into the job market will stimulate the economy needs to be kicked. Osaka Sun (talk) 21:06, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
